Oakcdrom.sys

"Man look at all these! I can't believe you all have the exact same problem as I am. Keep up the great work guys..."

"Will try it. Let you all know how it goes."

"I've wanted to install Win98 on my IBM ThinkPad 560. I formated HD and made new startup diskette for rebooting. But When I used Startup diskette I've got the message "no drives found, aborting installation." and "Device driver not found 'MSCD001'" which simply means my CDROM is dead. My CDROM is external and named ARGOSY CDROM/player 980. They have tech. support but they don't want to answer on my emails. What can I do more? I there someone who can help me"

"Nevermind, I came across the answer and learned a new DOS command ("edit"). Quite an achievement for someone like me."

"I know how to copy the OAKCDROM.SYS and MSCDEX.EXE files from A \ to C \ but I don't have enough DOS savvy to know how to "add device=C \oakcdrom.sys /D mscd001 to the config.sys file or lh c \MSCDEX.EXE /D OEMCD001 to my autoexec.bat file-" as stated by some other users. Any help would be greatly appreciated."

"Somebody, anybody, everybody...Please Help! I've tried everything posted on this site and I still get the same error (No valid CDROM device drivers selected). I'm using a SCSI interface for a Toshiba XM5401B SCSI CD-ROM. Any suggestion will help."

"I have dowloaded this file onto a floppy - how do I install it?"

"Thanks for the Oakcdrom.sys driver Cary. I have the following in the config.sys Device=oakcdrom.sys /D mscd001 and in my autoexec.bat c \mscdex.exe /d mscd001 /L D When booting it begins to load but it fails, the following message appears "No drives found, aborting installation." Please could you give me some advice on how to correct this. Kind Regards, Vito (email vitorossi@yahoo.com)"

"I am using a CD ROM drive from MIRAI. The company web site was next to useless with regards to getting drivers. I’ve tried using the generic OAKCDROM.sys and got nothing. I don’t suppose anyone’s got a driver for this particular CD ROM? Thanks. Robert"

"Hello again, I have the same problem as you I formatted my C drive, wanted to reinstall Win98 from the CD-ROM and guess what ? -) "No drive found. Aborting installation" (I have an IBM PC-750 P133 with a Mitsumi CD-ROM drive.) I have found a solution wich worked at least for me - find the PC maker's site (in my case, IBM.com) or the CD drive maker's site. Use Google if you don't know its web address - search the site (or Google.com with url=ibm.com) with the keyword "CD-ROM" or "CD-ROM driver" or even more precise keywords if needed my own example - download the driver package for one's PC or CD drive (in my case, IBM Diskette Drivers for 8X CD-ROM v° 1.45) - if necessary, unzip the package (mine, named "z51t03a.exe", was compressed, I double-clicked on it and it expanded into a disquette, the contents of which I then copied on to a special subdirectory on another PC C drive) - read the README files first they usually give lots of information - and such was the case for me the READ.ME file indicated wich file exactly contained the CD drivers - in the files contained in the package, copy that .sys CD drivers file (in my case IBMIDECD.SYS) - in one's Windows boot-up/emergency disquette, replace oakcdrom.sys or any other *cdrom.sys file with your PC or CD drive maker's .sys CD drivers file - rename that .sys file into anything_in_3_letters_cdrom.sys, such as ibmcdrom.sys - edit the config.sys and autoexec.bat files in the disquette and replace all occurences of oakcdrom.sys (or other *cdrom.sys file) with your PC or CD drive maker's .sys CD drivers file (ibmcdrom.sys) - boot your reformated PC with such a disquette. There are chances it'll work. Of course, it may also not... And tell me whether it worked for you. -) The posts at DriverGuide set me on the way to the solution. I hope this e-mail will set you too. Emmanuel Barthe Paris, France PS please do not give my e-mail address to anyone. Thanks."

"when downloading from floppy to computer what should i open it with."

"I am having the same problems as James Gin. I have tried a LOT CD-Rom drives (changing the config.sys and autoexec.bat) I've found out there and no matter what I do, I still get 'No drives found...aborting installation' The biggest problem I can't access the WIn98 CD--or even copy it to the C drive. Can anyone help me alter the Win98 Boot Disk so I can get my CD-Rom up and running? Or, tell me what to try. I keep getting the same comment from everyone I talk to get a new computer, but I don't want to (so don't tell me so). I have an old beastie Compaq 5133/66 with a NEC 502 CD-Rom. Thanks for any and all help you can provide!!!!!!!!!! rk"

"Hello Thanks for this website and all the people who post they comment. I use the driver and configure autoexec.bat with device=oakcdrom.sys /d mscd001 and config.sys with device=C \oakcdrom.sys /D mscd001"

"I have the same problem with James Gin. Recently I got the "COMPAQ Presario 1230" notebook, and I formatted the hard drive to install win98 again. However after the format, the computer cannot recognize cdrom, showing same message like James Gin. Anybody can haelp me? Please."

"Works on most legacy CD drives."

"This needs to be added to your config.sys file- device=C \oakcdrom.sys /D mscd001 And this to your autoexec.bat file- MSCDEX.EXE /D mscd001 oh yeah, uh your welcome."

"I'm gonna try this little sod on a friends pc running win95 (she lost CD ROM access, has no installation disk, no idea of drive manufacturer or required driver..DOH! this is a long shot) I already got the driver on my boot disk, so we'll try it. Will let you know if it works."

"This driver works great on a IDE CD! To use, CONFIG.SYS should have the line device=oakcdrom.sys /d mscd001 The AUTOEXEC.BAT should have the line mscdex.exe /d mscd001 /l d This assumes both oakcdrom.sys and mscdex.exe are at the root of the DOS boot disk."

"I have downloaded the driver, but now I am not sure how to get it onto my PC in DOS. Can anyone help me please? Thanks )"

"I have found that if I simply load the driver in config.sys without any call outs, in the autoexec.bat file I type MSCDEX /D 12345678 And the driver from OAK attaches (assuming a working IDE CD-ROM is attached electrically and logically /power and 40 pin IDE cable) with Master/Slave set correctly."

"I downloaded this driver but I still can't get this driver to load. I had the same problem once before but can't remember what OEM had me do. Already tried Diane's suggestion about adding lines in autoexec.bat and config.sys Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated."

"Oops! It should say mscd001 after the mscdex.exe instead of OEMCD001 Sorry!"

"For those of you who are having trouble getting this driver to load, try this This needs to be added to your config.sys file- device=C \oakcdrom.sys /D mscd001 And this to your autoexec.bat file- lh c \MSCDEX.EXE /D OEMCD001 Of course you will have to tell it where the file is located if it is in a separate folder than the root (C drive) And you will need to download or have the mscdex.exe file also. Hope this helps! This is an excellent generic driver. It has worked for every cd rom drive I have ever used or fixed."

"This driver is part of the Win98 preload utility from MS. It does cover just about every type of CD-Rom known to man and since windows will load it's own driver afterwards it's good for getting your CD-Rom up and running to reinstall Windows 9X. If it's good enough for MS.... )"
