A computer installed wth windows me is booted with a windows 98 cd.
The cd offers three option:

1) start computer with cd support
2) .... without cd support
3) ... [i forgot what it is]

I chose option 1 and after a while I am presented with

.... is Drive E
.... is Drive F

and a command prompt of ms ramdrive (d drive i think)

D:>

I typed

D:> e

so that i can access the cd rom but i encountered

Reading drive fail (I forgot the exact text)
Abort? Retry? Fail?


How come the computer can read the windows cd but couldn't go to the drive?

I even tried both e, f, and other alphabets.
