Having problems installing Windows 2000 Server in a new system built as
follows:

Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW+ motherboard
Two Athlon MP2800+ boxed (i.e. using their own heatsink)
Yamaha CD-RW (can find out model if important)
13GB ATA-100 HDD (ditto with model)
4 x 512MB DDR PC2100 266MHz 184pin (2GB total)
Antec True Power PSU (lots of power)
13GB HDD & CD-RW connected to IDE-3 as master & slave (will be using IDE-1
for RAID later)

snip

a) Windows could not load the install for CDROM. Contact your hard vendor
for assistance

You'll laugh but in the past I encountered similar problems several times
when trying to install Win2k from a CDRW drive. Substituted a standard CDR
drive and all was fine. Don't ask why.
