Only if you provide more information about your hardware. I could not find any Google mention of a
Dell E560, only an Acer Aspire E560. In addition, the Dell site doesn't know what an E560 is.

Your most likely problem is that your disk systems (both hard drive and CD) need a driver that is
not generally loaded, which is what the error message says.

Try another distro - and/or try a Live CD like Knoppix or Elive.

Had the same thing on a very recent DELL machines. The generation before
had only the HD in SATA, but the latet has it for their CD/DVD too. AND
they put in a new SATA chipset.

I found two solutions:
- in the BIOS, set the device in an IDE emulation mode (can't remmeber the
name)
- SUSE 10.2 did detect the device, where 10.0 didn't.
