You have to use the MS-DOS CD-ROM controller. There are more
details in the FAQ.

That's just what one would expect.
The problem is the swapping of the hard drives, which puts
Windows in a old mode to access the IDE.

The solution is simple: using FIPS to nibble some space from
the first harddisk, check the first partition to be sure,
use the startup diskette of the operation system you want to
install, make a new primary partition on the first harddisk,
and install the second OS there.

Everything on the first HardDisk will use the IDE at full speed.

i'm having the same problem, it seems to conflict with the 2nd
os's(in my case win98's) primary and secondary ide
controllers. the problem seems to arise when gag changes
drice letters to get the os to boot. i've been searching forums
for a solution to no avail... let me know if you figure it out

I know this is late, but had the same problem with XP/98 Boot. XP as the first OS I setup, no issues, 2nd OS is Win98SE no cdrom. All I did was swap out the drives startup and made Win98SE as the first drive, then XP. Both now have cdrom support.
