[Ham-Computers] Need help with DOS

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 21:11:42 -0600

Yes my brother walked me thru all that, and come to fiind out there are no
cr-rom drivers installed.
Its a HP computer and I'll have to find the model # and get on there site to
maybe obtain a driver fir it.

Only reason I'm doing this for a friend its has a Pentium 4 on it, 1600 mhz
processor, its prety darn fast to not have windows, it was used in a Paint
business, has all kind of porgrams for mixing up paints.

Unless you know of a place to obtain a driver for the cd-rom.

73,
Brian
