Installing a cd-rom device driver in Win3.1

I have a pc with an internal CD-ROM whose hard drive was recently reformatted. I installed DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1, and they run fine. I want to install Windows 98 using the Win98 cd update I have, but when the hard drive was reformatted, the CD-ROM's driver was lost with everything else. I downloaded the correct driver for the CD-ROM (named ltnide.sys), but I don't know how to install it correctly using Windows 3.1. All I want to do is get the CD-ROM working and install Windows 98, so any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi. Welcome to VirtualDr.

Check your e-mail.
I sent you a universal DOS IDE CD-ROM driver.

Can I have some of that copyrighted material, too? (How did you get the permission of the copyright holder to email the files within 34 minutes of the original post?)

Unless it's really just a trojan, then don't bother sending it.

MS-DOS/Windows 3.1: If you are trying to install a LITE-ON CD-ROM device driver for use with MS-DOS/Windows 3.1x, you need the "v4.14" download available on this LITE-ON page: http://www.liteonit.com.tw/english-load-other.htm. (After you've downloaded and unzipped the file, run the INSTALL.EXE program).

Windows 98: If you are trying to install a LITE-ON CD-ROM device driver for use with Windows 98, simply boot from a Windows 98 boot diskette in drive A: (or from your Windows 98 CD in your CD-ROM drive) and select the option "Boot with CD-ROM support". If you don't have a Windows 98 boot diskette (and your system cannot be set to boot from the CD-ROM drive in CMOS/BIOS Setup), you can download a program that will recreate a Windows 98 boot diskette from bootdisk.com.

(Windows 95: Updated Microsoft CD-ROM Changer Drivers 4.00.950 for Windows 95 can be downloaded directly from Microsoft's FTP server: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/cdchnger.exe (129 KB)).
