hi guys...

I've got a 6speed Creative lab IDE CDrom and 'im quite happy with it but 
i've got one problem that prevents me of using pre-win95 programs. The 
CD-rom is detected by Win95 without any problem but when I reboot to get 
into DOS mode, it is not! All the drivers are correctely installed and 
properly configured but it 's like the f....... driver ain't even present 
inside the computer! all it tells me is : "No drives found" which comes 
just after the message of initialization of the CD-rom drivers....And of 
course, in the absence of any detected CD-rom, it aborts the drive 
initialization, which prevents me of using any DOS CD-rom since I can;t 
access the drive in that mode!

HELP!! please....

Christophe
