Make sure your CD-ROM drive is not on the same chain as the Hard
Drive.

Could be a virus.  Win95 goes into compatibility if anything "gets between"
it's drivers and the hardware (from what I can tell).  I have had this
problem and after all else, I did a virus scan and found the Form virus.

Ok, if it's not a virus, which I don't think it is, here are two proposed
solutions, I would like to know WHICH one of them works.

The first:
Look at Q151911 in the Microsoft Knowledge base, (www.microsoft.com/kb) and
delete the NOIDE entry from the 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\VXD\IOS Registry key. 
Then reboot Windows95 and see if that solves the problem.  You have a CMD
controller, so that is right on the money.  This should work.

IF IT DOESN'T, TRY THIS:
Get a copy of the WIn95 CD-ROM.  In the \drivers\system\pci folder there is
a PCIIDE.VXD file.  Copy it to the hard drive somewhere easy to get at
later (like c:\).
Boot into Safe Mode (very important) by pressing F8 at the Starting
Windows95...blurb at the beginning of the boot procedure.  Then select safe
mode.  In safe mode, remove all of the Hard Disk Controllers from the
device manager (control panel:system).  Then, rename the pci.vxd in the
\[windows]\system directory to pci.old.  Then copy the pciide.vxd into the
\[windows]\system folder, BUT RENAME IT to PCI.VXD.  Reboot in normal mode.
 It will probably take a few boots to re-detect all of the hardware.

there is a technote on this at microsoft.com, but don't remember the
number.  do a registry search for "noide" and delete that value from the
registry.  restart and see if it fixes your problem.  if not, search ms
knowledge base for the keywords "noide, cmd"

dj,

  Try changing driver in device manager and using the standard driver
or if you have some bus mastering driver for your motherboard this may
solve your problems.

Thx
