Boot floppy - Nec CD-Rom detection failedForum: Other Help Topics Topic: Boot floppy - Nec CD-Rom detection failed started by: omark Posted by omark on Oct. 09 2005,03:19
I have an old Pentium 100MHz, which I'm trying to get up and running again.The CD-Rom drive, a Nec CDR-273, is not recognized by BIOS. I know all the hardware works, because Windows 95 was running on this beast before I formatted the harddrive. Anyhow, I made a boot floppy. It hangs during boot. When doing a failsafe boot, it hangs at ide1: SIS5513 Bus-Master DMA disabled (BIOS) My conclusion is that the default boot floppy configuration does not support this particular Nec CD-Rom. Questions: Am I right in my conclusion? Is it enough with some cheat codes? Do I need to put drivers for the CD-Rom on the floppy? In that case, what drivers, and where from? Thanks Omark |
