daremax, welcome to TSG
have you tried turning off the PC and actually unplugging the drive and the IDE cable on both ends and then reinserting the cable and restarted?

 

[daremax]

First of all thank you for this fast reply. Yes I immediatelly disconnected the cables as you said,but still nothing,the machine finds it,and then installation unsuccesfull! and it remains the same problem code 39

could this be a conseqence of HDD being plugged on a wrong sata controller few days ago?

Maybe hard to say, will it work in another PC or will another cd-rom drive work in your PC?

 

[daremax]

yes I thought of that too,a friend of mine told me to remove jumper and reset the drive. I have another drive I`ll try to install it,if nothing changes OS reinstall probably the only solution.(Or not)
