need help with generic cd-rom driver

to all:
I have a used laptop with a cd-rom, and the hard drive only has ms-dos on it. I think that I need an autoexec file and a sys.com file with some lines pointing to a driver. And need the driver itself. The laptop is a compaq N610. Can someone point out what I need to do to get the cd-rom recognized? Many thanks in advance, yodel99

 

do you want to use dos? or update it to something else? try this site for some ideas
http://www.bootdisk.com/

you should be able to modify some of the startup files for win 95/98/ME to see what you need.

 

Great! Many thanks!!
