I boot my PC - HD empty - with a Windows 98 boot disk (official) . But when it tries to load cdrom drivers (OAKCDROM.SYS,BTCDROM.SYS) it displays:
"No device drivers found. Aborting installation."

I downloaded some others from the web, but still the same $#!#%@ problem !!
It denies to accept mscdex...I also booted from Win ME boot disk...the same crap.

I have an MSI i875P Mobo,Seagate 120GB,512DDR...system.
Is it mobo's fault ?? I did try to setup WIN 98 from the CD ( BIOS=CD BOOTABLE) but nothing !!
Please, what can I do to make it "see" my CDRW as a CDROM drive in DOS so as to install Windows XP ?????
PLease Help me with the @#%@$#% DOS drivers.

Hi nas2003,

Well it doesn't look like a bootdisk/driver problem but you may want to try the official dos driver

Otherwise it will be either of the drive, cable or mobo. As with all similar situations with multiple possibilities you have to rule things out. Do you have a spare cable to try, try re-seating the cable. Do you have a spare drive hanging around, try it. If they don't make a difference see if you can borrow a mobo, i know it maybe a big ask.

HTH, T.
