What OS to install?
<< < (5/8) > >>
Mr. Three:
Floppy drive installed, boot floppy created, Win98 Install CD inserted, computer restarted.

Device driver not found: 'OEMCD001'.
No valid CDROM device drivers found.

The Windows 98 setup files were not found.

Your machine is cursed.

Have a nice day.

You may also need CD drivers for DOS, I guess. I can't remember back that far right now :(
SGT:
The win98 floppy has cdrom support built in.  Unless his floppy diskette is corrupt, the cd drive is not showing up as a device or is malfunctioning.
EwJ:
What manufacturer/make/model is the cd-rom?
Yank it out and look at the top  - it should be labeled.

Some old (really old) cd-roms will give you problems unless
you add drivers for them to the boot disk.
I had an old one (Matsushita i think) that would not work
at all until adding specific drivers to the win95 or win98 boot disk.

You may find a suitable driver here?
driver?
