Ok, I an not a technical person. Although I like to pretend I am on occassion.

I installed a new hard drive on my p233mmx. All was going well. I then moved data files from the old drive to the new drive. I was going to reformat the old drive. Load win 98 to the new drive.

My old HD had 2 partitions (C: & D:). I reformated the D: drive and wiped out windows 95. I went through the reformat of my (C & D). I have a system disk that I created from a bios upgrade. I booted using that and copied basic dos files to c:/dos(had help with this). I still cannot get the CDrom to recognize to load win98.

What do I have to do to get my cd working property. I cannot find and cd drivers. As a last ditch effort I reinstalled win 3.1. Still no go.

Currently, I have one hard drive(partitioned C: & D:) I have a dos directory with basis dos tools. And I loaded windows 3.1.

Please help point me in the right direction.

Thanks
