Edna;
  LBA isn't a concern with CDROMS, only with hard drives.
 You shouldn't have any problems installing.

   You can run the cd as a slave to your hard drive,
 (remember to set jumpers)
 or you can run the cd off your sound card if your computer
 has the proper slots to accept one of your sound cards .
