#WINDOWS 95 CD ROM DRIVER INSTALL#
To install Windows 95 from a CD-ROM, the real-mode CD-ROM drivers must be loaded in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files.
I've been trawling around the net for the last few days, and found reference to mscdex which I guess is what you’re talking about. I'm 99% sure I need to configure some windows files to get it working. I've tested the CDROM, data cables and IDE slots and there fine. Thanks heapsĮdited by maxthepadewan2 on 10/17/04 07:54 PM.
#WINDOWS 95 CD ROM DRIVER DRIVER#
and does anyone have any driver search tips? They would be appreciated immensely, now & in the future. Where are the CDROM device drivers stored in win95?Īs a side note what data transfer standard did we use before atapi? I'm almost certain it’s simply getting the right device driver for the cdrom. I'm pretty confident its a software issue, because of the way it was successfully probed by windows during its first boot. I've also tried a few other old drives and had the same results. I pulled the drive out and tested it in a fedora core 2 client and it worked (it sounded like a beefed up lawnmower but it worked I was getting non atapi compatible errors, with some jumper configurations, but I’m pretty confident this isn't the issue. I can tell you it’s a generic brand drive, its 24 speed, and it’s really hard to find a driver for p) at least for me I'm not actually able to tell you what drive it is right now (I've left work for the day ). I don't have much experience with old software so its eating up way too much time, especially for something in the good will category. If anyone can help me out with this problem it will be greatly appreciated, its starting to wear me down. If I do find one of the universal drivers work, can I simply copy it into windows somewhere and use it? Even if this works though, I’m still not sure if it will help.
#WINDOWS 95 CD ROM DRIVER HOW TO#
The default one didn't work, but I was a little unsure of how to change it to the others (will have another look a bit later). I've also tried using a 95 boot disk from which apparently has 4 universal CDROM drivers. Is it possible to pull generic drivers off of the windows cd put them on floppy and simply transfer them to the appropriate place? I found a long shot at but it had a sys extension and windows would only look for inf extensions. I've searched the net for ages trying to find drivers, but didn’t have any luck. I'm pretty confident the CDROM works it powered on, and windows detected it when it booted for the first time with the new hardware wizard. I'm trying to put a CDROM in an old Pentium 166, running windows 95b.īasically what’s happened is I’ve transferred a hard drive from an old 486 that died into the newer Pentium 166 but can't get the CDROM to read anything.
