Thanks for the tips. I got to the BIOS with the ESC key and switched my boot order to force it to poke the CD drive first. With the old bunk CD drive it just skips by; with the new drive it says "IDE #1 ERROR". So I either got a dud used drive or the wrong one. I'll have to try a network connection...

Thanks for the offer slodave but I am in MN.
