Hi All,

Kind of an extension of Windows 98 Install - Won't load CDROM drivers, I've been having trouble getting Windows 98 DOS to load any kind of CDROM drivers.

Basically, I've tried all of the drivers on the Win98 boot floppy and a couple others individually (re-wrote the config.sys on a copy of the disk to try each one individually) to no avail. BTCDROM and ASPICD both run but then throw the 'no device driver found MSCD001' error, while OAKCDROM, VIDECDD and SSCDROM (driver for the SC-140) all just cause the system to hang (cursor flashes, but system doesn't proceed). I've tried loading all of them with stock MSCDEX and a couple (OAKCDROM, VIDECDD) with SHSUCDX, same result.

Drive is jumped as master on the secondary controller (I believe it is wired up this way) and the BIOS detects it as such. When in Win98 itself, the drive runs fine, though I get that DOS requires real-mode drivers as opposed to what Win98 uses.

Machine specs:
Intel Coppermine 128 Celeron (996MHz)
Gainward NVidia Geforce2 MX400 64MB
384Mb RAM
Sound Blaster Live! SB0220
Maxtor DiamondMax 80GB HDD
Gigabyte GA-60MM7E 1.1 Motherboard
Samsung SC-140E 40X CDROM

(As for why - I got 98 installed by using a Linux CD to copy the contents of the 98 CD over to the HDD (back when I had two CDROM drives installed) for installation through there, however now i'm trying to run Transport Tycoon Deluxe, which will only run in DOS mode, and needs to be able to see the CD in order to start).

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
