RE: [COMP] CD-ROM Drive

Your CD ROM drive letter will be different depending on which operating
system you boot into.  If you boot into DOS and your C drive is formatted as
a FAT32, the C drive will not be recognized and your D drive may become your
C (Hope I'm not confusing you here).  If you formatted your hard drive, what
operating system or boot disk are you using?  Tell me that, and I can walk
you through the rest.

Subject: [COMP] CD-ROM Drive


Hey...I just ran into this problem while installing Windows 98.  I already
had Windows 95 on my computer, and decided to format my hard-drive, being
there nothing on my hard-drive worth of importance.  So, I formatted the
hard-drive.
After the formatting was done, I stuck in the Windows 98 CD-ROM into my
CD-ROM drive, and turned on the computer.  I came to the DOS prompt, and
typed in my old CD-ROM drive, E:\, and it said drive not installed, or
something like that.
So, I still have this problem.....How do install stuff onto my hard-drive if
I can't even use my CD-ROM drive?  Thanks, Zander
