first time posting and i'm in a bit of a fix..
my boot/system drive was wiped and i need to reinstall win95 from cd-rom. the problem is i don't have the cd-rom drive that came with the laptop, but rather an external cd-rom drive that i connect to via PCMCIA IDE PC CARD. the laptop model is IBM Thinkpad 570.
so, i've installed MSDOS and downloaded 2 drivers from ibm's website, one for pcmcia and one for cd-rom. the pcmcia driver wasn't a problem to install, but the cd-rom driver will not install and instead says "an error occurred while accessing drive C."
this is odd, because the pcmcia driver was installed on C without any problem. how come i can't install the cd-rom driver?
any ideas? i think i'm going insane. please help!
