Default Debian not finding my optical drives.
I was trying to install Ubuntu on my main rig earlier and was having problems. So I decided to give Debian a shot. I cant get Debian to install because it cant find the optical drives.

I think it has something to do with my P965 chipset's lack of IDE support. Apperantly its not seeing the 3rd party controller?

Any Ideas? Note: Im a complete linux noob.
