wow,never heard that one before!You really mean to say that it detected your scsi cdrom, installed off the cd,and now cant see it?. Truth be known, nt31 is pretty limited as to the cdroms it supports,only scsi adapters (no ide interfaces)and not many of those at that. You might want to check a file on the boot floppy (or in the i386 directory on the cd) called txtsetup.sif (you'll have to use whatever viewer you can, its just a text file).it lists all the cdroms that nt31 supported.If yours isn't listed in there you might have been prompted to 'configure additional' adapters -the most likely (well,only) spot on the cd is , i believe , in a directory called storage\x86. If your cdrom is in there you just copy the contents of the directory with your drivers onto a floppy so nt can read it and it'll load it and your fine. if its not there i have no idea how nt installed off a cd! except whatever your smokin id like too :) seriously, up until recently the only spot to obtain ide cdrom drivers for nt31 was channel 1 filelibrary (they had what must've been over 500 megs of nt31 stuff) but they pulled the plug :( if you look realllly hard you might find something somewhere else but dont count on it- i know, i had most of them, and had nt31 just a cookin' with ide support and soundblaster 16 drivers too! lost them all in a drive crash..... havent been able to replace a single one since! Best of luck
