    Can't get the Cd drive to work

    Im using an aptiva from about 1995-7 and the cd drive doesnt work just as you described:

    Atari cdrom v1.0
    yada yada yada

    tcpdos.exe
    cant find driver

    vhdd0420.exe
    cant find driver

    yada yada yada

    c:\mwave_c\vhdd0420.exe
    cant find driver

    c:\<some other file>

    c:\dos\oakcdrom.sys
    bad file or cammand
    bad file or command
    says that about 10 times and then goes to the user edit cursor eg flashing "| "
    When i go to mscdex.exe it comes up with "/d:driver" to select driver but then it won't find the driver event though i have it right next to it

    i put in "MSCDEX /d:eek:akcdrom(.sys)" and it still doesn't work

    help me ... plzzzz

    yeah so what do i do
