Hello, I really need help..
I tried to install my cd-rom by copying oakcd.sys from a boot disk, in c:\
then i put a line in autoecex.bat
C:\WINDOWS\MSCDEX /d:mscd000

and in config.sys I put
DEVICE=C:\OAKCDROM.SYS /d:mscd000

then i go to drivers and i try to add the driver "IDE : cd audio" and it tells me to put in the floppy with the driver on...

How can i make me cd-rom work pls ? It's urgent

The OAK drivers will work for most standard CD-ROM drives. It won't work for all. Is your CD-ROM drive new or old?

What model CD-ROM drive do you have?

Is it attached to a sound card or CD-ROM controller card? If so what brand and model of card is it?

Is it attached to the IDE cable as a slave to your hard drive? If so, is your Hard drive jumpered for master and your CD-ROM drive as slave?
