I have a yellow exclamation sign in my primary and secondary hard disk controller in device manager in Windows 95 and my CD-ROM does not work. What do I do?
Ans: This is because Win95 does not recognize the IDE Controller chip. To fix this, you need to install the correct patch or IDE driver that comes with the motherboard. If for some reason the driver diskette did not come with your motherboard, you can probably download it from the manufacturer’s web site. To install the above file(s), please create a ‘folder’ (e.g. c:\driver) in your hard disk. Copy all the necessary file(s) to this directory and run it from there. Some of the above are self-extracting files. In that case you need to expand the files first and then run the setup from the proper subdirectory. Follow the instructions and you will be set.
