i am messing around with my old 486 and i had to reformat the hard drive. i am reinstalling the drivers for the cd-rom(panasonic) and i can get the computer to recognise that it is attached but i cannot run anything off of the disk and therefore cannot install win 95. can any one help me as to how to get my drive to read the disk??? i don't think it is a driver problem as the cd rom is recognised during the booting process.

Sounds like the BIOS finds the cdrom drive but you need to install the drivers. Get a bootdisk with cdrom support at www.bootdisk.com and it should work.

yeah, i tried that but it still won't work! i can bring up the directory for the cd rom ie type in 'dir' and it brings it up, but i can't load anything off the disk or change the directory ie typing cd/.... it says invalid directory????
this happens in both dos mode and in file manager in windows 3.11.
