Error: "Can not find installation CD in Open Suse"

While installing Open Suse Linux, sometimes an error occured "Can Not Find Installation CD for Open Suse". This error occurs while checking for basic drivers and intializing installation.

this is an error related to non compatibility of some versions Open Suse with SATA controller for your hard disk or CD/DVD. i have got this error and with the help of Mr. Ravinder Singh i removed it.

1. "If you are getting this error, just go to BIOS setup for your motherboard and check for default driver for HDD. it will be 'Automatic', change it to "ATA" and now restart the system.
2. Also check that your HDD is in the list of booting devices, it is not excluded from the booting list. (Some time motherboard detect the disk but exclude this from the booting devices list.). If it is so then increase preference of your disk and include in the booting devices list.
