Are both cdrom drives on the same data cable?  This is a long shot; but 
try disconnecting one of them.  Hopefully the cd drive is on different 
data cable than hard drive.  If that doesn't work; put another drive in 
at least long enough to get install going.

I've seen brand-new DVD drives in a brand new system have problems with 
a Linux install; but connect an ancient 32X CDROM and install goes smoothly.
