Some kid wiped nearly every bit of info off my mother's 486, and I'm stuck
with fixing it :) 
It orginally had Windows 95 and a CDROM drive that worked fine... Now I can
only get as far as the DOS prompt...

So I've got her orginal Windows 95 CDROM, and downloaded the original CDROM
drivers off the Net (it's a Goldstar x4, SoundBlaster compatiable)...

Problem is that I can't get DOS to recognise the CD-ROM drive, so I can't
install windows...
I keep getting the message "MSCD001 not found"

Any help or tips would be much appreciated...

Thanks
