MSDOS Setup

Comment:

I somehow screwed up my MS DOS setup and it's trying to detect a CDROM drive that doesn't exist. And now I can't even get into the setup to solve the problem. Please help me on this. - Desperate Computer User

I guess you mean that you have a line in your config.sys like: device = cdrom.sys /D:myROM If so, disable it by putting REM[and a space] in front of it. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
