problems with installs

I have unsuccessfully tried to install red hat 8 on my system. It doesn't recognize the dvd-rom as a option to install. My system contains two hard drives. I'm trying to install it on the 2nd hard drive. Any suggestions?

Did you prepare the second HD for the install? david

Elaborate: What exactly did you try to do?

I've already formatted the drive. Also, when I try to the install red hat linux 8 doesn't give me an option to install from cd-rom.

How are you getting to the point of 'no install form cd option'?

I get to the menu that ask which media would like to install from: http, nfs, hard drive, and ftp. Note: I've installed 8 before on a clean hard drive before. Also, when I pick the hard drive it states that it detects no hard drive.
