   You can see where the CD/DVD drives are attached in BIOS.   
   Most computers have their HDDs on the Primary Channel, and CD/DVDs on the   
   Secondary. I'd delete the Secondary IDE Channel; it's probably the right   
   one.   
      
   Windows already has all the drivers needed to reinstall them without seeing   
   the CD.
