*Sigh*. I could not get this old piece of junk to recognize the new CD-ROM drive, even though I followed the directions, installed the mscdex.exe into the correct directory, got the drivers to install through DOS then... nothing. It still would not recognize a D: drive at all. Not only that, but the floppy drive was having problems reading the disk at times too. I suggested that my brother just bite the bullet and get a new computer, and use the Compaq as a doorstop.

Thanks anyway for your help!
