    Take a look in the Device Manager to see what category it's under.

    mscd001 is for the cdrom & toyotaman, you are an impatient individual as if seen questions answered days later while you want it right now. take it easy.

    the floppy drive is removable,so you could replace with cd-rom.i boot up laptop with a floppy boot disk .it will boot from floppy .but when it askes to chose option i choose start windows without cd rom support .then it gives me the mscd001 is missing and then wont load windows.thanks for repling

    do you have both the floppy drive & cd rom but can only use 1 at a time as both use same port. is that correct?

    can you go into the bios to change the boot sequence so that the rom drive boots before the hd. also is your win98 cd bootable?

    try boot drive sequence & set to floppy, cdrom & hd in that order. could be using the enter button to bring up a menu that you change. could be using the + & - keys to change it. should tell you on lower right side of screen.
