The trouble is, I'm not really getting any specific error messages. I know the drive itself is installed correctly. Here's what I'm doing: I am attempting this install through DOS, and I loaded the mscdx.exe like it wanted, and that gets detected, so fine. Now, I pop in the floppy disk, and it asks me where to download the drivers to. The default directory name comes up as "C:\CDROM", so I press "enter".

Then, it tells me it's going to change the config.sys and autoexec.bat to reflect the new settings for the CD-ROM drive. It asks me to say Y/N to change these two items, otherwise I have to do it manually. I say, "Yes", then... nothing. I'm back to the MS-DOS prompt at A:\>.

I go to the C: drive, and I see that there is a directory, C:>CDROM, and in it there appears to be the normal retinue of startup files. On system restart, there is nothing detected... no D: drive in any event. The BIOS does not recognize the drive either.

So, after trying this a number of times, I don't quite know what to do at this point. Several times, I was also getting a "general failure reading drive A:", so perhaps it was not copying all of the files it needed? Though upon checking the floppy disk director, it seemed like it could read it most of the time. I am puzzled!
