D:\ is not ready, Device not ready
I used D: (The CD drive)(w/ 98SE boot disk in A
 to install 98SE. D: shows up inwindows explorer in the middle of the C: directory, but I get message D:\ is not ready Device not ready when I try to use it. Neither the Device Manager or the System Information App indicate that anything is wrong. Thr 2nd IDE controller is bad, so I have the CD player slaved to the HDD on the first ide controller. What do I do to configure the system so that I can use the CD player? I figure that I probably need to edit one of the DOS files, but don't know which one, or what to say. I know that slaving the CD to the HDD is not great, but its for a backup computer, so thats OK.

Are you sure the switch on the CD drive itself is set as slave?
