Installation of Suse 9.3?


I'm really stuck with this problem, I've been trying to install Suse 9.3 all day without sucess, every time I boot into install options, which I have tried each of, It takes me to an message that says it can't find my CD drive,
I've tried booting "insmod=ide-generic" and still can't recognize CD drive, Any help would be appreciated.

processor AMD 2800 64 bit
CD Hitaci DVD/CD
HD 20 Gig WD
OS Win XP

In SuSE 10.0 i have a module called "ide-cd".
What about this?
Is it possible to download SuSE 10.0?
It's much more easier to install, also hardware support is even better.

What is the exact message - that might give some additional clues.

And are you sure you set your BIOS to boot from CD?
