If you had the CDROM installed before installing Win95, then Win 95
will still load sbide.sys but will not load mscdex.exe on systems
start.  It will move it to dosstart.bat (from autoexec.bat) which is
run when you restart the computer in dos mode from within windows.

If this isn't working, then you should probably check config.sys, that
SBIDE is being loaded and that mscdex is then being loaded in
dosstart.bat or autoexec.bat.  You have to load both for the drive to
run in dos.

Hope this helps.
