CDROM driver for WIN95 Thinkpad 560 - Tech Support Forums

Hi. Need to find CDROM driver for Thinkpad 560. I think that is
what my friend needs. He wants to install WIN98 on a Thinkpad
that has WIN95 and the CDROM can't be found by the WIN95
operating system. Any ideas or other help? dickn'

Excuse my thickness. How does using a WIN98 boot disk
allow the insertion of the WIN98SE CD to install WIN98?
I obtained the WIN98SE driver from BOOTDISK.COM. On my
desktop, using it does not allow me to get to my CDROM.
What am I doing_thinking wrong?

Gottcha about the multiple posts. I am confused about
different forums are I guess.

boot disk gives you a dos prompt - look for you cdrom through that - guess at it - once you get there - search for the setup file - type it- and you'l have it running.

don't knwo dos - call back - wiz - the minimalist

what you downloaded from bootdisk.com should be an .exe run the .exe and have a: disk ready. the program will make a boot disk.

restart the computer with the boot disk you created and stat up with cd rom support. And then install win98 from there. remember to back up any info that your friends wants to keep.

For a full listing of the drivers that he may need, go to www.pc.ibm.com/us/thinkpad/support select support and search for the TP 560 Device Driver Matrix. It'll have all of the drivers, BIOS and H8 updates that he may need.
