Solve : cd rom drivers?

Answer»

Please I am at a loss I am trying to fix an OLD 486 up for a friend and I cant load win98 from the cd as the cd doesnt work as I cant load the drivers in dos can any help. Thanks in advance. I havent used dos fo a long time.Use w98 boot disk and boot with cdrom support. You can make a boot disk from a w98 machine or download one from bootdisk.comAnd can you run WIn98 on a 486? That is a bigger question.It should be possible. Depends on which 486 and how much RAM.
How "fast" it runs is an other question.

But we will only be left to guess all of these things as there is NO info given on the mystery 486.Thank you all for the info SORRY I didnt give much information but I dont have it. The problem is I cannot get the device drivers for the cd rom to PICK up I have a boot up disk for win98 and ALSO a cd for win98 it has only got 64mb ram It has an Oshumi motherboard and a pc controller. Thanks anyway64 MB RAM are enough for WIN98.

Your Bootdisk has no CD-ROM support?
Load one down like 2k_dummy suggested.
The most CD-Rom drives should work with "standard" drivers.
Not every company write their own drivers.

There are also Bootdisks for download:
