Hi,
From memory, Win95 does not have CD ROM drivers in it. You must install them manually.
Unfortunately I can't suggest where to get them.

Ozi could be right. Sometimes W95 would not recognize a cd until you load a Dos level driver in config.sys and a mscdex line in the autoexec.bat to match. Is true, I have had this one, many times back in the day. If you can not find a manufaxturer's Dos driver, there a loads of generic ASPI drivers out there.

Could be "last drive =" line, as well, possibly.

Good Luck
