Re: cd-rom drive

When I check system information in the BIOS screen it
shows there is a floppy drive, a hard drive being the primary master
and another hard drive the secondary slave.

The cd-om drive is attached to the secondary slave so should be the
secondary master.
Do you know how to set this up.

You cannot have two devices connected as "secondary slave".
Perform an experiment. Temporarily disconnect a "secondary slave hard
drive", start your computer and see if cdrom works properly.
If it does, you may need to connect your "another hard drive" to a primary
slave, or make it a secondary master and cdrom as secondary slave. Conform
to a standard practise regarding master/slave jumpers and physical
connection location on a secondary IDE ribbon cable (end connector / middle
connector).
