If you had a BTC to begin with, or the PC came with a BTC then ther driver command is still in the system. First I would do a Find Files for any reference to BTC, or CDZPRESS. Also check for a reference in win.ini or System.ini, for later versions of Windows look in the Folder c:\Windows\system and see if it is there.
You can also go to the Device Manager in the Control Panel, you will find Device Manager by dbl clicking the System Icon, if the other CDROM is there Click ont and remove both ROMS, and let PnP find it on the next boot. If you do this, make sure you have the latest drivers for the ROM
something else, the end of an IDE(ribbon) cable is the Master, the center connection is the slave, how are the jumpers set on the back of the new CDROM.

Apparently you have switched to a new brand CDROM while leaving references to the old one in your system.

Reboot the computer.
As soon as you see the "Starting Windows 95" message, prss the F8 key (repeatedly, if necessary).
When you see the Windows Startup Menu, choose "step-by-step confirmation".
Say 'Y(es)' to each prompt.
After answering one of the prompts, you should see the error-message that you stated.
So, which command was the most-recently executed, in response to your 'Yes' entry?
