Hi,
Hope someone can give me a lead on how to proceed with this problem.
500 Tech point for the correct answer!!
I have a IBM ThinkPad laptop 560X with external CD drive connected to a pcmcia card and freshly re-partitioned and formatted HD. Booting up from the W98 startup diskette doesn’t see the CD.
Finally found the IBM driver IBMTPCD.SYS and got it to load. But now when I try and access the CD it says its not ISO9660 or High Sierra format (which it is – a W98 install CD).
Also its telling this without spining up the CD which I find a bit strange. (The machine spins up the CD during the boot process as bios is configured to try and boot from the pcmcia card but won’t boot a bootable CD)
Note: Yes, latest bios has been loaded.
The only thing I find on the web (MS site) about this error says the driver needs to be loaded into high memory.
But it is as far as I can tell.
Here’s my boot files does anyone see something wrong that it wouldn’t be loading into high memory?? OR know of something else I need to load? Something to do with the pcmcia cards?
Thanks.
