Hi,
I have a Windows ME startup boot disk but when I use it my system cannot find the CD-ROM drives. I have a DVD rewritable and CD-ROM drive and a CD rewriteable CD-ROM drive and they both work fine. I use the option to boot with CD-ROM support but it says that it cannot find any CD-ROM drive. I made a new boot disk and it is the same. Thanks for any help, Frank |

The CD ROM and/or DVD decices must also be correctly identified in the BIOS
for the ME boot disk to identify them in real-mode DOS. "Frank McKee" wrote in message ... Hi, I have a Windows ME startup boot disk but when I use it my system cannot find the CD-ROM drives.

How are the CD/DVD drives connected?
AFAIK, the boot disk drivers won't see external CD/DVD drives. Try downloading disk image from www.bootdisk.com - the OEM one for Win ME. Use that to create a new boot disk, and see if that works any better. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Frank McKee" wrote in message ...
