5. From the CD-ROM Configuration Selections screen, select 2. Select a CD-ROM driver from the list. 6. From the CD-ROM Driver List screen, select 3. User-added CD-ROM driver. 7. You can now continue the recovery process at step 5 on page 27. (If the hard disk has not yet been partitioned and formatted, you must select 1. Partition and format the hard disk from the Partitioning and Formatting screen.) Method 2-Installing Your CD-ROM Device Driver onto the Hard Disk Note: If your CD-ROM drive requires more than one device driver, you must add the device drivers to the CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk using the procedure in "Method 1-Adding Your CD-ROM Device Driver to the CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk" on page 33. The following procedure describes how to install your CD-ROM device driver from a CD-ROM device driver diskette to your hard disk. Before you can perform this procedure, the hard disk must be partitioned and formatted. If the hard disk is usable and is already partitioned and formatted, you do not have to repartition and reformat it for this procedure. If you are using a new, unformatted hard disk, you must use the FDISK program to partition the disk and then use the FORMAT program to format the disk. You can partition and format the disk temporarily for the purpose of installing the CD-ROM device driver and then specify permanent partitions when you reinstall Windows 95. In this case, create a small (10 MB) C partition only. Do not create any partition larger than 2000 MB. Note: If you have not already done so, attempt to back up any data on your hard disk before using this procedure. The FDISK and FORMAT commands used in this procedure will make any data currently on your hard disk unusable. 34 About Your Software

If your CD-ROM drive requires more than one device driver,
you must add the device drivers to the
CD-ROM Setup Boot

using the procedure in “Method 1—Adding Your
CD-ROM Device Driver to the CD-ROM Setup Boot Disk” on
page 33.
The following procedure describes how to install your CD-ROM

Before you can perform this procedure, the hard disk must be
partitioned and formatted.
If the hard disk is usable and is already
partitioned and formatted, you do not have to repartition and
reformat it for this procedure.
If you are using a new, unformatted
hard disk, you must use the FDISK program to partition the disk
and then use the FORMAT program to format the disk.
You can partition and format the disk temporarily for the purpose
of installing the CD-ROM device driver and then specify permanent
partitions when you reinstall Windows 95.
In this case, create a
small (10 MB) C partition only.
Do not create any partition larger
than 2000 MB.
Note:
If you have not already done so, attempt to back up any data
on your hard disk before using this procedure.
The FDISK
and FORMAT commands used in this procedure will make
any data currently on your hard disk unusable.
