ZP. SUCCESS!!! I had a candidate (I'm a recruiter..) tell me exactly what to look for. First of all, I had a bent pin on my floppy drive which may have contributed, but I don't think so. Here's the skinny: When you first run the auto-detect in the BIOS to find your hard drive, you usually respond such that the slave on the primary IDE, plus both master and slave on the secondary IDE are marked NONE. This causes the display in your basic BIOS screen (the one right after the smart-menu) to mark the corresponding lines NONE. The problem is that the Auto-detect will not see a CDROM, and when the primary BIOS screen is marked NONE, it DOESN'T TRY TO FIND A CDROM!!! Go back and mark the appropriate entry (slave on IDE1, or master on IDE2) to AUTO and you'll get your CDROM!
