The Installation program doesn't recognize my cdrom! (even after I boot
from cdrom)
(Please excuse me if my information is irrelevant. I am a longtime Unix
user, but know nothing about PC hardware.)
I have a AM486dx100 with IDE bus.
At Windows95 boot time, the messages displayed about the cdrom are:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CD-ROM Device Driver Version 4.11
Copyright (C) Creative Technology Ltd, and
Copyright (C) Matsuchita-Kotobuki Electronics Industries, Ltd.
1990, 1991, 1992, 1993. All rights reserved.
Drive Name = MSCD000
Supporting the following units:
unit 0 id 1 MATSUSHITA CD-ROM CR-563-x 1.02
1 CD-ROM drives(s) connected
CD-ROM device driver installed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The CD-ROM is connected to a soundblaster card.
The CD-ROM gets installed as drive E:
I can go into MSDOS from Windows95, and run view.exe on drive E:, which
lets me choose the install.bat. However when it comes time to choose the
installation media, a message pops up saying that no cdroms are
installed. The same with booting off the floppy.
Can I do something with booting using -c option so that my cdrom gets
recognized?
Thanks.
