I have an external CDROM using a PCMIA interface of my IBM 240 laptop. I made the mistake of reformating the Hardrive.

My problem is that the standard windows boot disk does not recongize the PCMIA device. Which means my CD is unexcessable to the windows install !!!

Does any know how I can make this device load under dos and asign it a drive letter, so i can reload windows or for that matter load the IBM recover CD ?

I looked at IBM.com, but did not find any useful info

Any idea ?
