During the boot floppy boot process, it recognizes the hard drive OK, but I do not see that it recognizes the CDROM. During the setup where you enable or disable drivers that you don't or do need, I don't see anything about the ATAPI IDE CDROM. I do see driver enables for older CDROM drives (2x speed etc). I did order the new book that you recommended from Walnut. It covers version 2.2.5 which is my version. Someone wrote to me and said that I should be able to install from the CDROM running DOS. I have DOS 7 on a boot floppy with the drivers for the CDROM. There is no operating system on the hard drive but I have created DOS partitions and copied files from the CDROM to the DOS partition successfully. Can I just go to the install program on the CDROM using the DOS 7 boot disk and run that program to install?
