Nearly there.. Tuesday, September 6, 2005 at 1:59 am Windows 95 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Robin Howard (5 messages posted) Thanks for your advice... Using a windows 95 boot disk, I've managed to get windows almost installed. However, it's now not recognising my CD-ROM drive (a matshita UJDA120) from within windows. The floppy disk had drivers on it which enabled me to access the CD-ROM (as r:\) from the a:\ prompt when I boot from the floppy, so I could begin the installation process from CD-ROM but once I restarted my computer in line with the windows installation procedure, it would no longer recognise the CD-ROM. This means that I can't complete the installation procedure because I can't copy some of the necessary files. It also means that I don't have the CD-ROM driver necessary to install the drive because this is located on my unrecognised windows CD-ROM! I've spent a while now searching google for a matshita driver (think this is what I need) but no luck. Am I going about this the right way by trying to download a driver onto floppy? If so, does anyone know if there is a standard driver that will work with this CD-ROM, since lots of people seem to be having difficulty finding a specific matshita ujda120 driver.
