Default CD Rom

First you need to confirm that you have/haven't got a faulty CD-ROM.

Boot from your WinMe Startup (floppy) Disk and select option 2) - Start with
CD Support. N B - at the very end of the boot process, it should tell you
that
"Your CD-ROM is drive X"

(NB drive X may not necessarily be the same letter as you would expect in
WinMe)

Insert a CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Now, at the A:\ prompt, type "X" (or whatever letter above, and no quotes)
then press Return

At the X:\ prompt, type "dir" (no quotes) then press Return.

Do you see any sort of directory listing running down the screen?

If not and/or you get an error report, then it sounds like you CD-ROM is
either dead or there is a hardware (cable?) issue.
