Hey steven, I think you got some good advice from that last reply, however, i think there's an easy way to fix this, just turn off your computer, insert both disks, floppy and cd, and then restart. your puter should recognize the boot disk you have, if not, then try downloading one, that's what i did to upgrade to windows 98 without that stupid upgrade disk people are always talking about. anyway, when you do the format, you erase your computers memory, which means that it doesn't remember that you have a cd rom drive, unless you tell it you do. you just have to know how to tell it. it's posted on the bottom link that's listed on the reply above.
