Accessing CD drive from 98

I run Windows 98 in VPC 2004 because, although I have
a fully legal Windows 98, drivers for 98 are no longer
available. I have no trouble with A-drive.

Is there a KB article telling how to read from the CD
drive? Thank you.

there's nothing to write a KB about. If you have a CD in the host's CD
drive, you simply mount the correct drive letter to the Win98 VMs CD.
If you only have 1 optical drive on the host, you should be able to simply
see the CD in Win98, or worst case, mount or attach it from the VM's system
tray.

Right on, Steve. Musta just not done it right last time.
It read my CD just fine...all I had to do was click on CD.
