Why is your CD Rom M Drive? How many drives do you have?

Hi Darwym:

CDROM drives do wear out.  Why not check yours
without running Windows?

Use a boot floppy with CDROM support, and see if
your CDROM drive works properly in DOS.

What kind of CD is it?  If it's a burned CD, make sure it was burned with the right 
settings.  Windows 95 did not support more advanced featured for CDRs or CDRWs and 
will not read it if it doesn't understand it.

Also, if the drive is an older drive, some CDRs and most CDRW discs cannot be read 
as the drive didn't support such standards.
