The PCI Bridge Patch is for INTEL Chipsets only , as you have an ALI chipset it won't make any difference. Do you have your CD-Reader working???

You can also get the drivers form here http://www.acerlabs.com/acerlabs/drivers.htm aslo check your motherboard manufacturer for any patches.

If so put in the CD that is supplied with your motherboard and look for anything like Win95 Fix / Patch etc. 99% of ALI based boards have this file on the cd. If your drive isn't working, go round to your friends and drag the file to a floppy then run it on yours.

Also remove any real-mode ( DOS ) drivers from your system and reun Regedit & search for NOIDE. If NOIDE is found, change the value of the key to ' 0 ' rather than ' 1 ' then reboot
