heres what the directions said but i dont understand
To install the CD-ROM device driver, the syntax in CONFIG.SYS
is as follows:
DEVICE=VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 [/P:xxx,yy] [/L:xx]
where [/P:xxx,yy]
specifies the IDE port which is connected to the drive and the
interrupt request.
'xxx' is the base address (hexadecimal notation) of IDE port.
xxx = 1f0 : Port 1
170 : Port 2
1e8 : Port 3
168 : Port 4
'yy' is the interrupt number (decimal notation) of the
corresponding IDE port.
[/L:xx]
specifies the message language. Available options are listed
as below:
xx = US : English (the default language)
GR : German
FR : French
SP : Spanish
IT : Italian
JP : Japanese
For example, when eight drives are installed, the command
line in the CONFIG.SYS file could be entered as follows:
DEVICE=VIDE-CDD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1f0,14 /P:170,15 /P:1e8,12 /P:168,10
NOTE:
Our device driver will automatically search the drives for 4 ports
up to 8 drives, and the ports are 0x1f0, 0x170, 0x1e8 and 0x168 with
interrupt number 14, 15, 12 and 10 as default, respectively. If your
IDE ports and their respective interrupt numbers are the same as
those mentioned above, you don't have to specify them verbosely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To enable the CD-ROM drive to read CD-ROM discs using the High
Sierra or ISO 9660 format, you not only need to install the CD-ROM
device driver, but also need to insert the following line into your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
MSCDEX /D:MSCD001
To have a detail knowledge about the MSCDEX.EXE program, please
refer to MS-DOS user manual.

then you don't need to load a driver for it as xp uses it's own generic driver. get rid of what you have done. is the rom driver alone or with another drive on same cable? what is that drive jumpered as as in master, slave or cable select?

a jumper is a shunt that connects 2 pins together. is a piece of square thin plastic usually black but can be white, red, yellow or blue with a bit of copper to connect the 2 pins together. when looking at the back end of the drive with the power connector on the right side, you'll see what is usually 2 rows of 3 pins with the jumper on 1 top pin & 1 bottom pin.

If you have a friend, who knows about computers, ask him/her to help you. Pay attention to what they are doing, and you won't need their help for that, again.
Everyone, who knows computers, has been where you are right now, and has learned. You will too. Good luck.
