When I boot up my machine for the first time my cdrom is not detected, however when I press reset the machine will reboot and pick it up. I am not sure this is doing my machine any good and I would like to know if anyone can tell me how to sort it out?

Hello,
It sounds as if you have a "delay at startup" thing going, check your CMOS for that, also, if the CD-rom is SCSI, it may have a jumper setting for a delay at startup

both suggestions have been tried by myself and other people on my machine and neither of them worked, but thanks anyway for answering the question.

Try to set in BIOS autodetect mode for IDE chanel where you attached your CD-ROM.
