I want to copy a file from my CD-ROM (f:) to my c:\ drive. I type in f: and get the error message Invalid Drive Specification. How do I access my CD-ROM files?

If you are running DOS, you have a wrong CD-Rom driver in the config.sys or you need to add a Lastdrive=Z line in it. Make sure MSCDEX in the Autoexec.bat matches the
address for the driver in the config.sys.
If you are running Windows 9.xx, you have a problem, indeed.
