Hi ,
I have WIN XP host and created a virtual hd and began installing win95B.
Everything worked fine except the installation stops with the following
message:

Starting Windows 95...

Sony ATAPI CDROM Device Driver, Version 2.26a

Copyright (c) Sony Corporation, 1994. All Rights Reserved.

NO DRIVES ARE ATTACHED, OR DRIVES ARE POWERED DOWN.

THE DEVICE DRIVER IS NOT INSTALLED.

C:\>C:\DEV\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd000 /V /M:12

Device driver not found: 'MSCD000'.

No valid CDROM device drivers selected

C:\>

Do I need to install my NEC DVD-ROM drivers? or????

thanks, keith

Virtual PC emulates a standard IDE CDROM drive - Windows will need to
use the OAK driver to use the CDROM.
