I acquired an IBM Thinkpad 755CD laptop from a friend and I am having some problems installing windows. It is currently booting to DOS 6.2. I have both the internal floppy and cd-rom which are interchangeable (only one at a time). The floppy drive works fine and boots and runs from the DOS prompt. I cannot, however, get the CD drive to be recognized at startup or in DOS.
In the BIOS, with the CD-ROM in, I can run the test and it comes back OK. I think this is a driver issue. But, I don't know how to install Windows with only a floppy drive. I am hoping that there is a way to get a startup disk to recognize the CD-rom.
Here is the software I have in case it is of some assistance.
Windows 95 cd
Windows 98 (upgrade and full)
Windows 3.11 (cd)
Dos install disks
Thanks,
Neo
