motherboard has P965 + ICH8/ICH8R chipsets.

I've just built a new PC with a Sony AW-g170AB2 DVD+/-R/RW device

I've tried to install SUSE 10.1 from a DVD without success.

The PC boots up from the DVD without a problem. However when I select the
Installation option it says its cant find CD number 1. I guess it's a
problem with the device driver - or the correct one not being loaded.

Any one got any ideas how to get around this?

Which is your motherboard ?
Or Chipset...
