The problem is that the Packard Bell instructions for the original CD-ROM
drive is still in your config.sys.  If you would delete
DEVICEHIGH=C:\PBTOOLS\CR_ATAPI.SYS /E:MSCD0001 from your config.sys, you
should stop getting the message. (The message is telling you it can't find
the original CD-ROM drive. True, it can't. You removed it.)
