CD rom driver no drives found device:mscd, installation errors. Hi everyone and anyone! I desperately need your help. I bought a laptop through ebay from this company called Andover consulting 1 month ago. I did a lot of research through dell on the system I have. I finally received the floppy drive with the bay cable and I bought a dell cd rom drive through ebay. I have it hooked to a media cable. So all is well and operative there. What is listed?
I'd suggest starting up in Safe Mode, going to Device Manager and remove all the problem devices. It's very important that you have your original CD or the drivers provided by the various manufactures components on your computer.
As soon as it restarts, it will hopefully identify these devices correctly and install the correct drivers. That's why you have to be prepared with the driver disks.

The following was actually found in autoexec. No improvement. As this computer is also used by several other people, I have no idea of what had happenned to it. Do I have to download controllers?
I would appreciate if you could give me some instructions regarding this. SYS and edit your file to include this driver. Don't forget to reboot to load this driver. Good luck! Do you use TweakUI or something similar that allows a drive to be hidden? SYS file. I checked my config. It has everything already. I guess it is the one you are talking about.
So, I guess something else should be done. At the end of the config. This is only half the driver that enables drive access. There should also be a line in autoexec. This was the line that was remmed in the autoexec. In dos , you should get a report of what cd is found by the rom driver loaded from config.
Run your DOS boot with the [F8] key to slow down the boot and tell us what messages you are getting. Consider that the cd may have gone bad. You may be right, but I can't find that in my notes. Sorry for being late!!
