Win95 not seeing CD-ROM
Hello,
I am trying load new payroll software on CD to my computer but Win95 does not recognize my CD-ROM. This is the first time I have attemped to use the CD-ROM in a long time and have just noticed yellow exclamation points in front of the Primary IDE/Controller(Dual FiFo) and Secondary IDE/Controller(Dual FiFo) in Device Manager. When I try to use Add New Hardware it does not see them. When I try to update them in Device Manager I just end up with more IDE Controllers listed with more yellow exclamation points. The hard disk has dual Partitions(by others) and I am wondering if someone could help solve this dilema. Thanks.

mondronttigger,
This thread is like 4 years old. You should start a new thread and expand on what the problem is that you are having.

Modern CD-ROM drives use the same ATA (Advanced Technology
Attachment) interface that a hard drive uses. (Sometimes called
IDE for integrated drive electronics). A motherboard usually has
two ATA channels, primary and secondary. Each channel can
control two drives, master and slave.
In Device Manager, click on the + next to Hard disk controllers
to open that branch. Make sure the Primary and Secondary IDE
controllers are listed and they don't have a yellow exclamation
(!) mark next to them. If one is not visible, the controller may
be disabled in the BIOS setup. If there is an exclamation mark,
the CD-ROM drive may be defective.
I got the above information from the following link : http://www.domaincountry.com/articles/computers/cdrom.shtml

Really? This thread is 10 years old and not only is it a waste to respond to it, your response was incoherent. Maybe you sorted the threads backwards(?)
