Actually I'm not sure why you get anything that says "removable media" at all. At the boot handler of the D250 here in the office, the CDROM comes up as "random access media". That is the same for the hard drives. Tapes should show up as "sequential access media". Typically the CDROM shows up when doing a "sea" or "sea ipl" (if it has bootable media in it) by default. There is nothing you can do to "make" it show up. If it's not showing up, there may be a hardware issue with it. It is feasible that the 50 pin cable on the back of the CDROM has come loose. If you do a regular search from the boot handler and don't see it (usually at address 8/16/5.2) then you will probably have to do some hardware troubleshooting. The D's aren't the easiest machines to work on due to limited space in that area by the I/O bay. Anyway if you need further help getting into the box and troubleshooting it, let me know. I am an HP hardware guy so I could walk you through checking the back of the CDROM.

You don't think a CD-ROM drive qualifies as `removable media'? ;-)
