This is an old thread.  I hope someone will reply.

I cannot get my DELL Inspiron 3000 to start windows 95.  I have made a win95b floppy 
from the desktop at the internet shop.  I connect my external BackPack CD-ROM to 
the computer, insert the floppy, turn the power on and press the start switch.  I 
check the setup and the diskette is the boot device.  The computer goes through a 
couple of screens and the floppy whirs.  I then get the message

CD-ROM Device Driver for IDE
Copyright Oak Tech...
Driver Version  :V340
Device Name  :BANANA
No drives found aborting installation 

Device drivers not found:  'BANANA'
No valid CDROM device drivers selected
A:\>

At this point I've tried to follow the instructions in several threads regarding 
starting win95, but no success.  Maybe I should be starting a new thread?

Aloha
