Here's a good one for the tech wizards - any advice would be greatly appreciated. My 333 Gateway HD died (after 6 years of faithful service). I've installed a new (but used) hard drive and now want to install the OS. However, my CD-ROM drive is also dead (lol).
I was hoping to install an external CD-ROM and then install the OS. I have the CD-ROM driver on a floppy (floppy drive works!!). I have a 95 Windows start up disk which has a feature to install another driver but I can't get it to work. Am I doomed without having a working recognizable CD-ROM? Am I missing something to install the CD-ROM driver? Thx!
