I have a Packard Bell 75mhz computer that was giving to me. The problem I'm having is setting the CD-rom to work in DOS so that I can load windows 95 back the boot disk has been corrupted and no commands in autoexec.bat or config.sys to load the cd. I think that i have found a copy of the drivers just need the command line for those so that i can load windows 95. Any help would be grealy appreciated.

Hi,
Suppose you have your cdrom driver CDROM.SYS and MSCDEX.exe file in the root directory of C: drive, then you need to add the line to your Config.sys:
Device=C:\Cdrom.sys /D:Mscd000
and to Autoexec.bat:
C:\Mscdex.sys /D:Mscd000
Use instead of Cdrom.sys the real name of your driver, and if you keep the driver and Mscdex.exe not in the root of C: drive, enter the right paths in above lines.
Good luck, Igor M
