I don't think so. The computer on which I most recently installed Debian
has an IDE CD/DVD-writer (which I still can't get to write at a decent
speed, but that's a different problem) and a SATA HDD. I booted the Debian
testing installer CD (this was just over a month ago, before the new
stable) and it basically couldn't find the HDD. I don't remember the exact
error message now, but I tried 2.6 option, which worked. It didn't lose
the CD.
So in summary: sorry, I can't help!
