Can some1 tell me what the cd rom drivers are called?I mean how do i know if i have them on my win95b startup disk? What should i look for? MSCDEX and command are on the disk. I have formated my HD a few times ,the sound works ok.Does that mean i have Cd Rom Drivers on my disk? Thanks for help

Well, I'm having the same problem with my notebook computer and Windows 95. The manufacturer (Hitachi) maintains a site with the supposed drivers for my CdRom but the commands required initialize the drivers are not easy and I'm getting various error messages on booting the computer. It is really frustrating to not know how to configure the CdRom device drivers but I have learned alot in trying to configure them. I have contacted the MicroSoft web site and downloaded other Windows 95 update files but they do not help me with my CdRom. The notebook configurations are very mysterious, but there are usually little text files with names like "_Read8x.txt" or "_Read10x.txt" that tell how to configure special drivers with names like "TEAC_CDI.SYS" or "CdRomDrv.SYS" by placing special lines and "/flags" or "Option" within the Autoexec.bat file and the Config.sys files. Anyway, I'm still about as lost as you are but the computer is working better than ever except for the CdRom drive. I hope this helps, Keep Searching the Web, I'm sure we'll find the answer somewhere. If all else fails I'll probably upgrade to Windows98 and see if that fixes it. Hank on booting the computer

You need a drivers disk for your cd-rom that need to be loaded into your autoexec.bat and config.sys files. You also need MSCDEX.exe on your hard drive either in the root or windows folder. If you upgrade to W98 you should have no problem because W98 uses it's own drivers, but if you start from scratch (ie reformat your hard drive) you would then have access to a drivers disk. Email me if you are still having problems as i might be able to help you out with some drivers.
