Don't know if this is much help, as mine is a USB connection, but I got it to work by enabling mass storage on USB, and also by enabling SCSI emulation for the device - you may need to do the same - this may be the origin of the bizarre message asking you to use sr0 or sda as your mount point (in fact, sda is the mount point I use). Again, I'm not sure how much will translate from USB to IDE, but it seems as though SCSI emulation may do it. Good luck, Steve
