Okay I entered the BIOS setup and I am unable to determine how to ensure it recognizes the CD-ROM. It's the original CD-ROM. It comes up in the BIOS startup as CD/DVD ROM.

It's definitely an 80 pin cable.

I've tried two separate WinXPPro CDs. Neither works and they work in another computer, so I know they are fine.

I've just removed the battery from the motherboard to ensure the BIOS is reset to factory default. Will replace in 20 minutes.
