We are trying to install the SATA driver for a SuperMicro rackmount
machine. The machine ONLY has a CD for the install (no floppy). We
have the driver on a separate CD.

   When we get to the point where we would install the driver (have
disk) we can not open the CD drive to replace it with the driver CD
(unmount then mount) and then back again to the install CD..

   How do we get around this problem...?????

   Thanks
