    Generic DOS/3.1 CD ROM drivers

    does anyone know where i can find some generic dos/win 3.1 CD-ROM drivers?. I need to install windows 95 on a computer that has 3.1 on it. I would normally just pop the hard drive into a computer with 95 on it then copy the installation files to the hard drive and install it off the hard drive, but this computer seems to be put together by 6cm gnomes, the motherboard is blocking access to the hard drive screws and the hard drive is blocking access to the motherboard screws (i have no clue how they got it together). Anyways i need some generic CD ROM drivers for DOS or 3.1 cause nowhere on the CD-ROM does it give a make. It just has to work long enough to copy the installation files to the hard drive

    www.bootdisk.com

    Get a Windows 98se boot disk, boot up off of that, format the drive, install Win95
