Adding a hardware device

[Maurice]

Attempting to add an internal DVD ROM drive that is supposed to be plug and
play. When booting, error 'no system found' is generated. When the drive is
removed the machine boots normally. Apparently, the presence of the drive
confuses the system. If the drive is connected after booting there is the
option to 'add a hardware device'. Regrettably this option does not offer
drives as a device... opted for storage device but this option requires
drivers. Since this is plug and play there are no drivers. I have switched
between Master, Slave and cable select. Guidance sought

Have you ensured that the jumper settings on the new drive are set
correctly?
