Cd-ROM trobles
« on: March 20, 2007, 09:22:06 AM »
I was working on a computer running Windows 98 that could not read a Quickbooks cd.  I changed out the CD-ROM drive a couple of times with new ones but still the same result.  Now the computer cannont even find the CD-ROM.  I think the autoexec or config file might be messed up but i dont know what to do next.

Post your autoexec and config sys and we'll take a look...
Did you install drivers for the CDRom ? ?
Win98 needs these in most cases.

neither the autoexec or config seem to have much of anything because the only lines are removed but here they are:

Autoexec.bat

@echo off
rem C:\Windows\Command\Mscdex.exe   /D:Mscd001

Config.sys

rem DeviceHigh =C:\MTMCDAL.sys    /D:Mscd001

The computer seems to find the CD-Rom when booting up but not in my computer or windows explorer
