IIRC, that is a laptop?  It looks like the CD is not detected by the
BIOS at all, since it would probably be the master device on the second
IDE interface.  Try selecting it and from the menu that pops up, select
"autodetect".  It should find it then.

If the BIOS does not see the device, it's probable that Linux will not
see it either.
