P2 PC not recognising CD drive

by ameliapumo . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

I work for a charity and have a P2 Pc donated to us. Hpwever, the Hard Drive is very small and there is no CDRom on it. I installed a better HD and everything is fine. However, when I try to istall the CD, I cannot get windows (98) to recognise it.

On boot up, the CD is recognised, and in the bios. When windows starts, it asks for various drivers, which I cannot install as they are on my Win 98 CD.

I have tried installing it as master slave, sec master, sec slave etc and altered jumper settings etc. There is nothing wron with CDRom.

I must be missing something as I have done this loads of times before with no problems ( i have an hons degree in computer science)
