   CD drive in DOS ?   
   14 Jan 04 20:13:13   
   
   From: goatsmilk@hotmail.com   
      
   I wonder if anyone can help me.   
      
   I have an old system that has been passed to me that I want to pass on to my   
   parents to get them up and running.   
      
   My problem is that the hard drive has been formatted and I am in DOS which I   
   know nothing about.   
   It knows that A and C drive are there but not D drive which is the CD rom   
   (or at least was)   
      
   I have windows 95 CD Rom and 2 x start up disk one with IDE support (which I   
   downloaded from the net) and one without. Both have been tried neither seem   
   to help.   
      
   How do I tell DOS that there is a D drive and install windows from it ?   
      
   Thank you in advance for any help
