I just formatted my computer but forgot to add the cdrom drivers to the boot
disk. Now my computer can't find the cdrom drive to install windows. It's
an Atapi 52 speed, but I don't know the manufacturer. Can I get a generic
drivers?

try
www.bootdisk.com

however Win 2k cd is bootable so set the CD as the 1st boot drive in the
BIOS and it should boot into the setup without needed floppy disks
