Relative with question:

        Some one gave me an old Compaq Deskpro 66M computer to tinker with.
This system does not have a cd-rom, so I will need to use an external cd-rom
if I am to reload windows.  I will need to get one later.

        Any idea on how to get into cmos.

        The main problem is that it does not recognize C: Drive.  I believe
that it will need partitioned then formatted.  Or do you think a new
harddrive will work?

        I have only been able to get to the Windows 95 Reinstall screen.
Won't go any further, can not find C:/ Drive.

ALSO: will DOS drivers be needed for CD ROM after format, and how to get /
use them?
