| 217089 | 2004-02-21 00:25:00 | How are you booting to DOS? Are you using a DOS6.X boot floppy? That doesn't know about CD drives unless it has a driver loaded in CONFIG.SYS, and the programme MSCDEX run from AUTOEXEC.BAT . Can you use the F8 boot menu? Make sure you use the "command with CD support" option. Otherwise you should be able to download a W98SE boot floppy image. Or (if the W98 is still functional) use W98 to produce a boot floppy. That ought to include the appropriate CD handling. |
