I dont think he has anything installed.

We dont preinstall IDEFIX, the setup files are on HDD: for you to decide if you want to install it or not.
Once he installs IDEFIX, then it will work fine.

When FindDevice brings up weird names like that it's usually due to a failing CD drive. Replace the drive and FindDevice should pick up the right name and you can continue the installation.


Thats the problem it cant continue install, if he hasnt even run installer.

Some CF's and CD ROM drives dont mix and when IDEFIX starts its kills system.

You dont need IDEFIX to use CD ROM. If its on same channel as long as you have CD0: and filesystem, it will work fine.
If its on the second channel then use atapi.device to activate second channel along with CD0: and filesystem.
