Gary;
if you have the cdrom drivers on floppy
type "dir" at the a:\ prompt
it will show you a list of the files on the floppy.
look for install.exe, install.bat, setup.exe or similar.
back at the a:\ prompt type the command to launch the executable file
for example: a:\  install.bat
That should install the drivers and modify your config.sys and autoexec.bat
to load the drivers at bootup and your cdrom should show up.
