try changing the jumper settings of the cd rom drive to secondary master or secondary slave.
Use separate IDE cables one for your hard drive and the other one is for cd rom

Pee,

Since the Boot/System Partition is not D: or E:, you need to Delete that E: Partition & rename the CD-ROM to E: Subsequently, re-create the partion & it will take D: as default.

Use Fdisk to delete the E: drive/Partion then go to device manage, under cd rom properties change the Current & Reserved drive letter to E: Use Fdisk again to recreate the deleted partition.

Be careful, you might need to restart your PC. :(

right click MY COMPUTER, select PROPERTIES, DEVICE MANAGER tab, highlight your CD ROM and click PROPERTIES, click SETTINGS and change the drive letter in the box labeled CURRENT DRIVE LETTER ASSIGNMENT.
