	Problem:
	You restart in MS-DOS Mode but don't have CD-ROM access.


	Solution:
	The best way to enable your CD-ROM is to load the driver via 
	a devicehigh= statemnet in your config.sys, then edit the 
	DOSSTART.BAT file located in your Windows directory and
	LH=mscdex.exe.


	Example:

	In CONFIG.SYS

		DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\CDDRIVER.SYS /D:MYCDROM

	(Where C:\windows\command is the path to your .SYS file and 
	cddriver.sys is the actual name of your driver, and /D: is 
	whatever devicename you want. This will not interfer with Windows VXD driver)

	Then in DOSSTART.BAT

		LH=c:\windows\command\mscdex.exe /D:mycdrom

	(If you load mscdex.exe via autoexec.bat it will most likely send your hard
	drive controllers in 16-bit DOS-Mode compatability, a "bad" thing.)
