Kris,
What is the message returned during the installation of SuSE
Linux?
It's possible that the cd-rom has nothing to do with your
problems.
Can you ask someone to read the PC boot process messages to
you, as you switch on the computer? Usually messages displayed
include lines such as:
IDE1 MASTER =XXXX
IDE1 SLAVE =YYYY
IDE2 MASTER =TOSHIBA XYZ 123456 CDROM
At least, that's what they do on my machine.
Hope this helps!
