    big help needed please

    I have a computer without an operating system (except dos) and can't load the driver for the cd rom. Is there anyway I can load windows through floppy.

    So i assume you have access to another working pc? Have you tried a start-up disk?

    yes, I ahve a start up disk but can't get any further. All it keeps saying is cd rom not installed. It also says my d drive is 'msramdrive version 3.06 on virtual disk d:' does that mean anything to you? I would expect cdrom not cdram

    So what happens when you get to the DOS prompt and type... E: or D: and return?

    a: comes up as floppy, b: also comes up as the floppy, c: comes as hard drive and d: comes as I said. Windows starts to load from floppy and also says 'diagnostic tools successfully loaded to drive d:'. That is as far as I can get.
