If you have 4 Harddisks and two other IDE peripherals (CDROM
and Zip) , how are they connected? If you are connecting the
CD drive to an external IDE card, BIOS may not know
about it. Make it a master on the on-board secondary
IDE interface. Make sure there is one and only one master, on
each IDE interface used, and the other device is set as slave.

Hope that helps.
