Device driver not found: "BANANA'

I formatted my hard drive, and tried to reinstall Win95. I have the original CD with license, but no setup diskettes. So I downloaded Win95 bootdisk from bootdisk.com. When I boot up with this diskette, I get this error message:
CD-ROM Device Driver IDE (Four Channels Supported) Oak Technology Inc. Driver Version V340, Device Name BANANA
No drives found, aborting installation.
Device driver not found: "BANANA'
I even downloaded the cdenab.exe file from support.dell.com and run the diskette to get a CD driver installed, but received the same error message.
I have a DELL Latitude CPi with Pentium II processor, the DELL CD_ROM is 8x.

What should I try next?

The driver used in the boot CD does not work with your CD-ROM drive.
As I understand, the CD-ROM is not an external device.

You can try to use the windows 98 boot disk. There are much more CD-ROM device drivers there.
