Can't Boot Kalyway or Leo4All 10.5.2

Okay. I have a GA-EP45-DS3L MOBO
300GB Hitachi SATA HDD
Samsung Lightscribe IDE DVD-RW
2GB 1066MHz DDR2

I cannot boot into either Kalyway or Leo4All. It runs a bunch of lines with JMicronATA and then 5 lines of SAM Multimedia: Read or Write failed; SENSE_KEY =
followed by Still Waiting for root device

I have no idea how to get it to boot. I have the BIOS set exactly as other places have said and I am thinking that my IDE DVD drive may be to blame. I need all the help I can get. Anything would be awesome. Thanks!
