Hitachi DVD Driver
Help,
I am running windows 98se on a Dimension XPS T600. I messed up the driver for my hitachi gd-5000 DVD-ROM. I know where to find the driver on the Dell Resource CD. It is located at DRIVERS\WIN98\5824T, but this folder only contains the file hit-dvd.sys. Windows is looking for a *.inf file. I dl and installed the hitdvd.exe from hitachi's website but that only fixes it in DOS. Right now I am using the Hitachi GD-2000 driver and autorun won't work. If anyone could send my a link for the driver or how to get windows to use the .sys file, or any help at all, please reply.
Thank You,
msharlow
