your in the right place .. however make a dos boot disk and get the drivers (or generic) and add the drivers to the autoexec.bat and config.sys. you ned par drivers and cd rom ones .. i use 4 different os boot disk's from dos 6 to win 2000 id send you mine for ext cdroms but its at work and wont be back till weds its from quick cd and it has worked on ones form back pack etc.. maybe try one of theirs

Try downloading a boot disk with CD ROM support Windows 95 v B or above from www.bootdisk.com and this should find the CD drive.
