I recently purchased a Pentium-166 mhz cpu with a 2 gig hardrive for 25 bucks. I formatted and upgraded to Windows 98. It worked fine, except Windows refuses to recognize the Atapi cd-rom drive. It works- Bios recognizes and I used it to install windows in the first place. The jumper setting is correctly placed on master. Also I think its important to point out that if i use a 98 boot disk to boot into dos-the drive is recognized. What can I do to fix this? Do i have to alter config.sys?

CD-Recongition Problem

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
