If you are having problems finding the DOS drivers for your CD-ROM drive, just
get your hands on a win98 boot disk (the one that comes with win98). Perhaps you
can loan one from a friend. It will automatically recognise your CD-ROM and load
the correct driver for it. You can then install win95 over the top of the old
installation by running setup.exe from your CD.
