On startup examine the screen to determine what model of CDROM you have in your computer.

Then do a search on the Internet to find out the rest of the details.  You should be able to find the manufacturer's website with all of the CDROM drive's details.
Just go to the Device Manager to find out the CD-ROM drive's details from within windows.
Go to www.nero.com and download Nero 5.5.xxx.  Install it, then under the Programs folder there will be a utility called Nero CDSpeed that will tell you about your drive.  Or you can try the Nero InfoTool from ftp://ftp6.nero.com/InfoTool.exe

sir
If i run infotool.exe i am getting unable to initialize wnaspi32.dll error in windows 98.
what is the problem.
You have to have this wnaspi32.dll file installed on the system, which usually it isn't unless you have a CD-RW drive.  You can download Nero I linked above to get this file installed, or for a smaller download:
http://download.adaptec.com/software_pc/aspi/aspi_v471.exe

Make sure it's in the %Systemroot%\system folder
Actually for Nero's tools, it can be in either the system/system32 folder or in the same directory as the Nero.exe file.

SJECCP:
Were you able to download/install the APSI_471.exe file and get ASPI installed on your system?  If so, the Nero InfoTool should tell you the speed of the drive.  If any additional information is needed, please let me know.
