There are no drivers for a CDROM installed after formatting. Furthermore,
the boot disk for win95 did not include drivers.

Your options:
If your CD rom came with an installation disk, you can use it to install the

You can download a bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com . Boot this disk (which
includes CDROM drivers). I believe the CD drive letter in this case is R:
