Installing Windows 95 Software
If you installed Windows 95 in a computer on which DOS and
Windows had been already installed,
you need to disable the
DOS/Windows CD-ROM device driver to use the correct
Windows 95 generic ATAPI CD-ROM device driver.
To disable the DOS/Windows CD-ROM device drivers:
1
Start Windows 95 and go to the MS-DOS command prompt.
Note:
The default subdirectory for
C:\
xxxxxx
is C:\CDROM.
2
Open the CONFIG.SYS file; then find the following line:
DEVICE=C:\xxxxxx\IBMTPCD.SYS /R
xxxxxx
is the subdirectory where you have installed the
CD-ROM device driver. If you cannot find the line, quit the file
and go to step 4.
3
Comment out the line to change it as follows:
REM DEVICE=C:\xxxxxx\IBMTPCD.SYS /R
If the line is already commented out, quit the file and go to the
next step.
Note:
The default subdirectory for
C:\
xxxxxx
is C:\CDROM.
4
Open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file; then find the following line:
C:\xxxxxx\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD 1 /M:15
xxxxxx
is the subdirectory where you have installed the
CD-ROM device driver. If you cannot find the line, quit the file
and go to step 6.
5
Comment out the line to change it as follows:
REM C:\xxxxxx\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD 1 /M:15
If the line is already commented out, quit the file and go to the
next step.
6
Exit the DOS command prompt; then reboot the system.
