The video card is Radeon 9800 128mb. The computer has a D875PBZ motherboard. It found the cd, the problem is that it is
not recognizing what kind of drive the cdrom is. It only gives me the option of scsi. After that there is a list of
drivers that I am suppose to install. I do not what they are for, they might be motherboard drivers. I have to reboot
because I don't know what these drivers are for and they do not have any matching any of my hardware.
