Sounds like it sees your CD rom. "Installed from:" erase the a:\> and type: D: and then enter. "Will be installed" if it already says C:\ then just hit enter.

1. you have to have an OS on your laptop. Get a DOS 6.22 bootdisk (or whatever version of DOS you want) and either use
sys.com c:
to transfer an operating system to the laptop's hard drive or if you have a DOS package, run setup.exe.

2. You need to install CardServices software. It will place drivers in the bootup file named:
c:\config.sys
which will enable your laptop to "recognize" the pcmcia device.

You can download CardSoft software at my web page.

You download it as a *.zip file. You'll need WinZip to unpackage it. Make sure you unpack it to a diskette then run the installation program on the laptop using the diskette.
