Scott, your message doesn't really provide specifics regarding the problem(s) ((I was at the Rocky Horror Show on Thu, so I can only guess))
When I see > to reboot and load from the Win95 CDROM, but it didn't take. I would ask: - does the BIOS recognize the CDROM ? - can you boot from a Win95/98 floppy disk containing some CD drivers on it, and config.sys and autoexec.bat installing the driver ? - did the MasterBootRecord on the hard drive get messed up? If so, boot from Win95/98 floppy; change to C: ; issue command 'fdisk /MBR' (w/o 'quotes', also assuming the boot floppy sets the path so A:\[optional DIR\]FDISK.EXE can be reached) -- the option '/MBR' is not really documented by Micro$oft, so how to clearly specify target C: is a bit of a guess. Using Norton/Midnight Commander you'll find some hidden 'documentation' in the binary FDISK.EXE : """ */MBR and /CMBR cannot both be specified. </MBR only operates on drive 1, use /CMBR for other drives. -You must specify a drive number with /CMBR. """ Horst -- maybe trying a new installation on Halloween simply isn't a good idea ? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Sat, 2 Nov 2002, Scott MacWilliams wrote: > Hello LUGgers, > Thanks again for all your help Thursday night.
