Installation issues: No CD-ROM found


Hi,
I'm new with Suse. Installing it for the first time(SUSE Linux OSS 10.0)
I just downloading 1st two iso's for my AMD 64-bit 3000+ machine.

Now when i boot from CD, it boots up into linux graphic and gives me the options...so I choose Installation,,
It goes into loading linux kernel.
then a load of txt scrolls up the screen as it goes about finding stuff on the computer, like load usb drive etc
then comes up with "Make sure that CD number1 is in drive" I press OK
then comes up with "Could not find SuSe Linux Installation CD" Activating manual Setup
Then comes up with Select the language
English UK
then a menu appears
Settings
System Information
Kernel Modules
Start Installation or System
Verify Installation CD-ROM ( which comes back "Trying to mount CD-ROM or No CD-ROM found")
Eject CD
Exit
Power Off

When I try "Start Installation or System" just keeps coming back "Cannot mount CD-ROM"

Whats the problem ???

Edit: I've downloaded the "x86-64" as mine is 64-bit AMD

Hi,
thanks for replying...
mine is not SATA, its IDE, so i suppose i need not change the settings in BIOS. Moreover mine is different motherboard so didn't find the option you suggested in your post.

Any further suggestion ???
