Well Todd oviouslly there is no cd0 or cd1 otherwise I would have being up
and going by now.... I am going to need some instructions here and perhaps
some indication of what could be causing the cdrom from being initialized at
install..... I will try a couple of things but if I don't see the cdrom what
then, how do I take care of this, and if I mount the cdrom manually then how
do I get back in to the automatic setup to continue with the installation
process???or where I left off.....

Thank you all
Walter Gonzalez
I got to say, Inever got this kind of service nor the quick replies with
MS.... Thank you guys!!!
