If that doesn't work, count how many times it beeps on startup and read this for more info: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
You want the "Original IBM POST error codes". If it beeps twice, scroll down on that page for the error codes.
If you made your CD-ROM drive a master drive in your BIOS setup utility, remember not to do that in the future. You should only touch those settings when you have more than one drive of a specific type installed. You should rarely do anything in the BIOS setup at all, actually.
