I  have just purchased Red Hat Linux 5.2 and started installing it on the
machine

    Dell Optiplex GX1MT
    Processor:  Intel Pentium 400 MHz
    Memory 128 MB RAM
    Two 4GB HDD Ultra SCSI-2 LCD with 2940UW SCSI Controller
    Network:  3Com 10/100
    CD ROM Drive:  17/40X  ATAPI

I came to the part where the installation asked me if I would install from a
'Local
CD ROM'.   I pressed 'Enter' hoping that it would automatically probe my
CD-ROM
drive.  Unfortunately,  it did not.  Instead, it gave me another window
prompting me
to choose 'SCSI'  and 'Other CD-ROM'   I chose 'Other CD-ROM', and tried
each of
the
drivers listed (such as Aztec, Mitsumi)  but none of them work.  Instead I
keep
on
getting the error message:

   I can't find the device anywhere on your system!

What wrong with my system?  Please help.  My CD-ROM is an  NEC CD-ROM Model
CDR-3000A.

Awaiting someone's kind help

Joel
