Hello,<br />
<br />
good answer to the problem I discribed in my mail, but unfortunately I wasn't clear enough with my description: at the moment there is no OS in the IBM, and the rebooting is not that easy.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have been trying to re-install Win95 to my IBM 560X laptop (which has the IBM EXTERNAL 20X CD-ROM PCMCIA DRIVE) with boot disks downloaded from Bootdisk.com and I have fallen into problems, 'cause those doesn't support PCMCIA-cards.<br />
<br />
I have tried to create my own boot disks by changing the .sys files with some taken from IBM support pages, but that has been a total 'fiasco'.<br />
<br />
I've also googled with phrases like 'win95 boot disk PCMCIA support', etc, but didn't come up with anything usefull.<br />
<br />
The problem is that my laptop doesn't recognize the CD-ROM and therefore can't use the installation CD.<br />
<br />
The IBM's boot disk for Win95 Recovery CD (<a href="http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1BBOD-3N5KWE" rel="ugc nofollow">http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=psg1BBOD-3N5KWE</a>) was able to use the CD drive, but my knowledge isn't good enough to use that info any further.<br />
<br />
How do I create a working boot disk, he asks...<br />
