Make sure that there is a line in your CONFIG.SYS that has your CD driver
(like ATAPI.SYS or SLCD.SYS) followed by the /D:MSCD000.  Then, open your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and make sure that it has the MSCDEX.EXE line followed by
the exact same thing, like /D:MSCD000.  That might be your problem.
Sometimes, there is a /D:MSCD001 in the Config.sys file, and the Autoexec.bat
file has /D:MSCD000.  That would cause it not to recognize the device.
