To use a CD drive you need to install a CD driver. When you load Windows it includes a CD driver. This is all very well but to install Windows off a CD you need the driver first.

So... you need to find a DOS CD driver (which will become redundant as soon as Windows is installed) and load it.

I have a floppy which contains the necessary files to install the driver. If you want a copy post your email address and I'll send them with the instructions.

Can you access WinZip? If so I'll zip them.
