Problem installing 8.1

Hi, I got a new machine yesterday. An Intel motherboard with P4 processor, a Seagate Barracuda 80GB drive, a CD-ROM and a CD-writer/DVD combo. I can boot successfully from either the SuSE 8.1 CD1 or DVD in the respective drives. However I get the message "Cannot find SuSE 8.1 CD1. Starting manual installation." After going into the manual installation it appears that neither the CD/DVD drives nor the hard drive can be found. I would tend to rule out a hardware problem as I was able to install Windows XP and all drives work fine. Any suggestions on how to get past this problem? -- Steve Crane http://craniac.afraid.org
