The problem isn't to make your CD-ROM work in DOS but W2K, I'm sure DOS will work fine my Grand-Mother could write a driver for DOS, I guess W2K is too hard for you guys because there's not 1 Creative CD-ROM I worked with that works FINE at 100% in W2K. P.S. W2K means windows 2000 if you didn't know "Chris Gilbert (Creative Labs)" <cgil@clok.creaf.com> wrote in message news:9g0vdq$7uk$1@news.creativelabs.com... > I would suggest trying the drive in Dos to see if you get the same results. > You may also want to check all of your connections and make sure that > everything is hooked up properly. > > In order to make a bootable floppy disk with IDE CD-ROM drivers: > > 1) Create a bootable floppy disk (format a:/s) > > 2) Download SBIDE121.EXE, and extract the files into their own directory > (like C:\SBIDE). > > 3) Copy SBIDE.SYS from C:\SBIDE to the floppy disk. > > 4) Edit the config.sys on the floppy and add the following line: > DEVICE=A:\SBIDE.SYS /P:170,15 /p:1F0,14 /D:MSCD001 /V > > 5) Copy MSCDEX.EXE from C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND to A: > > 6) Edit the autoexec.bat on the floppy and add the following line: > A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /V > > 7) Start your computer using the boot floppy. > > > > -- > Chris Gilbert > Creative Labs > Technical Support > www.soundblaster.com > Mike C <Bruticus@the-beach.net> wrote in message > news:9g0d72$qtc$1@news.creativelabs.com... > > I have a Creative 52X CD-Rom and it doesn't want to work, when I put in a > CD > > it just makes My Computer inaccessible for a few seconds then it ejects > the > > disk.
