You need to have the correct statements in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT

Example:

config.sys - device=cdrom.sys /d:mscd001
autoexec.bat - mscdex /d:mscd001

if cdrom.sys is the correct DOS driver for your CDROM, that will activate both of them, and assign drive letters.

What if it's not, I think it's Atapi_cd.sys under the directory C:\poineer
also it could be: Oakcdrom.sys under C:\cdrom
or
Cpqidecd.sys under C:\cpqdos
well, thanks for the quick reply! Now, let's just see if I could get such a quick response again!!!
