New CD drive

I have an old PB with a 680 board running a Pentium MMX processor. Recently I
had to replace the CD drive. New one worked fine until I tried to use the
master restore disc. Upon boot of the floppy I get a message that it can not
find the CD drive. Any suggestions aa to problem and solution would be
appreciated.

Metronid may be able to fix that problem for you. I have alerted him
via the attn in the subject line.

Model name etc and /or the dos driver if one was
supplied and/or a zipped copy of any floppy that

Thank you for help.
The new drive is a 56x Max which came with a floppy. I did not install driver
since this was not needed with Windows95. The original CD drive which I removed
was a LTN 262.

My floppy restore is142697-02.( Version V6.0P) The accompanying CD master is
marked CD-175420-01.

Hi Bill:

Metronid's instructions in 10 easy lessons (we have made them all one
file for the purpose of assisting others) are located in the file
section of the below link. With over 51 members and counting we must
be doing something right. There is 100% total assistance there and no
trolls or disruptors are allowed. You will find the regular helpers
all there and are just an email (post) away.

It was Metronids great knowledge of restore disks. But I appreciate knowing
everything worked out ok.
