Dianne,
Here is the HP site for multibay manager http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/armada/us/download/13682.html<http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/files/armada/us/download/13682.html>

Install instructions are on the page (you can install from download).
I am not sure this will fix your problem, but good luck.
Hal Seabolt

  Interesting problem, I attempted to install the MultiBay Plug and Play
  manager, but it needs a zip reader, a zip reader doesnt fit on a floppy disk
  and the computer doesnt read a CD-Rom.  As well, the Drivers once I have
  installed the multibay, also dont fit on a floppy.  Suggestions?
  Dianne
