Invalid Drive Specification

[High Stakes]

Hey guys another little tid bit. Last night my son tryed to play a golf game on his comp, when he went into dos (from win 98)to bring up the cd rom he typed D:\ and enter it came back with invalid drv spec. I tryed it from the Explr menu and shutting dwn and restarting in dos either way I couldn't get the d or e drive (cd) to come up so we could install the game, any idea's two out of the three comps in the house have gone squirrely on me these past couple of weeks the wife has locked me out of the bedrm where hers is. So any help with my prob. would be greatly appreciated, Its cold out in the garage.......thanx

Insert and boot off of a startup floppy (bootdisk) and you will be asked DO YOU WANT TO START WITH CD SUPPORT?, select 1 (or start computer with CD-ROM support).

Eventually it will be done and you'll have a black screen
with the cursor flashing at A:\>_

Stick in your CD. At the A prompt type d: and hit enter.

Once you have the prompt showing D:\>_ type dir and hit enter. You should set a list of files including setup.exe or install.exe After typing this your install should begin.

Theoran, thanks for help that appears to have taken care of that issue. Now I'm getting "you must have at least 12 mgobyts of space on this drv. inorder to load this program" I have a ton of space on my hard drv. what drvr. are they reffering to? It can't mean the cd-rom or can it? Any idea's? Thanks again for the assistance with my other problem, and any help you might could give on the drv. space prob.......
