        You will have to determine which chipset your board uses and get the proper
drivers for it, the manufcaturer of the board should have these drivers. It
may NOT be an Intel chipset though.

        I'm not sure why you are referring to a HD here. The CDROM you have has
nothing to do with hard drives, it does not use an IDE connection. If the
CDROM in device manager has a red x it means that your settings are
incorrect. You need to find the port, IRQ and DMA settings of the interface
card and match them to what device manager has. Your HD is a completely
seperate issue. TTYL
