When you are asked for the CD drive, are you putting in a "g" or a "G". I usually use small letters and when I first tried to install Rebel 10 I remember having problems until I used capital letters. This is the first time I had that problem. If by chance you are using a small letter try using a capital. Hope this helps. Sometimes simple things work!
