Fedora 7, no dvd-rw driver found on install


Hello everyone.

I am trying to install fedora 7 with a dvd and upon entering the installation process and selecting "local cd-rom" for the installation method, i get an error message stating "driver not found", and it gives me a list of various drivers, mostly just different sata ones. I have not got past this screen and it is becoming increasingly irratating ;D

Bios reckognizes the dvd-rom which is where the system boots from. I need to install Scalix on this machine which is why I need fedora7 as 8 is not compatible.

The dvd is connected via ide and the hd is sata.
geforce 7150 mobo with built in nforce 630i.

Any help would be much appreciated thanks ;D
