That is what we want you to do. In that setup program you will see all sorts of settings that I don't want you to change or do anything with right now. We just need to know if the bios "sees" the "D" drive. On the opening screen you should see the time and date and a list of the drives detected. Do you see see something that refers to a CD drive?
