Can you get into MS DOS?
Ok, thought it would have been a second drive. Can you get into MS DOS?
If you can, try this.
Type cd\ and press enter.
Once at DOS type "edit c:\autoexec.bat" (without the quotes).
In the autoexec.bat window locate the MSCDEX line.
Once this line has been found, if it does not have /L:x (were x is the letter of the drive) go to the end of the line and type /L (this example should assign the CD-ROM to D: this can be anything up to Z).
Once you have made the changes go up to file (if you do not have a mouse press Alt+F) then choose exit and say "Yes" to save the changes.
Once back at DOS type "edit c:\config.sys" (without the quotes)
In the config.sys window look for anything that says LASTDRIVE=x (were x is the last drive letter). If you do not see this line go to the very beginning of your config.sys and add LASTDRIVE=K (or the letter that you want to be the ending letter. Note this must be anything between C and Z.
Once you have made the changes go up to file (if you do not have a mouse press Alt+F) then choose exit and say "Yes" to save the changes.
Reboot computer.
If that doesn't work, have a look at the links below.
