Mitchs Elect CD Problem--Have U tried this?

25th August 1999
From the "This Drive is Driving Me Nuts" department, Lockergnomie Kerry
Rogers knows of a way to get CD-ROM access in Safe Mode. "Here's the secret
(with Windows 98): before your PC begins booting up into Windows, depress
the CTRL key to access to the Startup menu. Choose 'Command Prompt Only,'
then type "win /d:m" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. Windows should
start in Safe Mode with your CD-ROM drivers. If you still can't access your
CD-ROM drive, it means your real mode CD-ROM drivers aren't installed. For
installation instructions, send an e-mail message to mshelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
with Q190303 in the subject line (and nothing in the body of the message).
Microsoft's automated help system will send back the instructions."
BLESS AMERICA, PLEASE GOD!
