State-Changed-Why: 
Actually, lots of people _have_ installed successfully using
several "similar machine" configurations.

However, your description of your hardware is very vague.

Can you list exactly which chipset you have for your IDE
controller on the motherboard?  Also of interest is
the exact model of your hard drive and of your CDROM device.

It would probably also be interesting to hear which IDE
channel you have your hard drive on, and which channel
you have your CDROM on, and whether these devices are
jumpered as masters, slaves, or cable-select.
