Hey everyone, during my reformat of windows on the second step, I was getting a 'CD/DVD rom device is missing, please insert etc.etc.' I'm sure someone here has seen the rest of that message as I can't recall the whole error.

During the format I was able to pass through the First Step which was "Install Now", and which leads to the second step.

Please help, I remember that i was able to fix this by switching the CD ROM cables, but it doesn't seem to be working right now, any other advice or ideas? Thanks any comments will help too.

More Info would really be a lot help full.

Have you tried reinserting the cd/dvd in and continuing the process?

Also keep ur case open and try rejoining the sata when the error occurs.
