You have indicated that the computer isn't seeing the Plextor drive as E:.
What letter is it seeing it as? If it's D, then this indicates the hard
drive is not being recognised, perhaps because it's not partitioned
correctly. You will need to fix the drive or fix the partitioning. If it's
seeing it as something greater then E then this indicates you have more than
one partition in the hard drive. In that case, there's no problem - just
modify the commands you are using to start the installation to use the
actual drive letter of the CD instead of E:.


the drive is on C:, the ram drive is D:, E: was supposed to be cd/dvd drive.

I think it is seeing it, but its not reading. the drive light is
blinking amber.

the plextor cd/dvd drive did read the cd disc just that one time during
the install, since then it won't read the disc after one of the
installation steps (it'd say it can't find one of those *.cab files) nor
can setup be accessed after booting.
