Thanks to Scott, I got a workable install boot disk, but I'm still not set up with anything on the 'puter. While it installs cdrom drivers, & I can cd to the drive (even pull up the dir), it won't automatically start the install. I'd tried cd'ing to the drive & running setup there, but I got an error that it cannot run setup.exe in dos mode. OK, so I copy the cd to the c: drive & try again. All I get it the same error. Guess I'll reinstall the bios, as there haven't been any updates since I'd last installed it. Maybe a fresh bios will get the cdrom to boot.
