installing windows 98, no drives found

[randomlight]

I am trying to do a new widows 98 install for a friend.I have a 98 se boot disk and an original 98 se cd.I formatted the drives and all seems well ecxept that I can`t get it to recognise the cdrom with the windows 98 software. When I get to the prompt "install using cd support" and hit enter I get a message that says"no cd rom drivers selected".Is this something that can be rectified in the bios? Any help would be appreciated

what i would do is take the case off of the computer, and see if the cd rom is properly installed onto the motherboard. If its not, then i would run device manager. If nothing else works, try to call the computer manufacturer and they maybe able to help.

The cd opens and closes properly.There is no OS in the computer so device manager is not available. anyone else have any ideas thanks

Go into the bios and see if it's disabled,if so try to enable it and see what happen's.

Some dos bootdisks cant recognise CDROM drives

Sounds like your boot disk is corrupt. Go to bootdisk.com and download an Me bootdisk.
