Help!! I have just got OS/2 for Windows on CD-ROM and I am having problems. I have a SoundBlaster/Panasonic CD-ROM combination, I have the SBCD2.ADD driver on disk number one, and altered the config.sys accordingly. This setup works perfectly, the drive is recognised and OS/2 installs without a problem. My problem is: While OS/2 installs perfectly from CD, it does not copy the CD drivers, and configuration to the new OS/2 setup. In short, OS/2 cannot use the CD-ROM, so I cannot install CD-ROM support from the CD. I know that all I need is to unpack the CDROMREQ package from one of the disks (I know this because I have tried out 2.1 on disk), but I can't access the CD to be able to copy the files (under OS/2) Is my only solution left to boot up DOS and copy the file (YUK!), if so then thumbs down to IBM. -GCW- -- multi:/user/home/gcw# cat .Sig ___________________________________________________________________________ | ___ ___ | | | / | / \\ X / | WOW now that that | | | || \ / \ / @multi.multiline.com.au | side is finished | | \___| \___/ X X | all I have to do | | / | is figure out what | | \__/ | to put here. | |____________________________________________________|_____________________| multi:/user/home/gcw#
