MS-DOS and Windows 3.x
(CD-ROM's for Windows are installed via MS-DOS but may have a Windows Setup available)

In order to use a CD-ROM Drive, your computer must first have a CD-ROM software driver installed. This is usually supplied with the drive but may not necessarily have been installed. The CD-ROM software driver is normally supplied on a floppy disk and includes a SETUP or INSTALL program. Following installation, the CD-ROM software driver is normally loaded at system startup time via a series of entries in the machine's C:CONFIG.SYS & C:AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
For example:

I went to install / check for updated drivers in Device Manager and I believe I clicked uninstall by mistake. Now when I look at Device Manager there is not even a DVD/CD-ROM option (menu spot for it). I have included screenshots to show the problem: Above: So here you can see My Computer, there is my SSD Boot drive but the DVD / CD-ROM is not. A real-mode CD-ROM driver Microsoft's MSCDEX TSR program A CONFIG.SYS file with a line loading the CD-ROM driver An AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a line loading the MSCDEX TSR 1- Adding a Real-Mode CD-ROM Driver By default IBM installs a real mode CD-ROM driver for use in DOS to the C: Windows Command folder. Next, insert the driver disc in your DVD/CD ROM and follow the onscreen instructions to reinstall the driver If you do not have the required driver disc, locate and download the driver from the Internet. You can usually find the drivers at the product manufacturer website Run a scan on your computer using an efficient driver management tool.

[config.sys]

DEVICE=C:DOSHIMEM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:DOSoakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
LASTDRIVE=F

[autoexec.bat]

LH C:DOSMSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /l:D

The first /D: switch is the drive number, which must be the same in both config.sys and autoexec.bat. In the above example its '/D:mscd001'. (If you had 2 drives fitted the second may be /D:mscd002) The /l:D switch sets a drive letter for your CD-ROM. (In this case DriveD:) You can make this anything you want after your Hard Drives that is not taken, but make sure you put a 'LASTDRIVE=' line at the end of config.sys to allow for enough environmental space. This can be made as the letter after your last drive in use (i.e. =F) as each letter used, uses a small piece of available environment. (LASTDRIVE=Z would enable ALL available Drive Letters) In this example HIMEM.SYS is used to load driver into upper memory block.

oakcdrom.sys = CD-ROM Driver (Which is named differently by each manufacturer) and can be located in its own directory.

MSCDEX.EXE is provided as part of MS-DOS and sometimes on Install Disk as well.

HIMEM.SYS is provided as part of MS-DOS and enables use of the upper memory area.

Windows 95

Windows 95 does not need a CD-ROM Driver installed as above, as it installs its own driver. However you may want to install a DOS Driver in this way to enable you to use your CD-ROM at the DOS Prompt. Remember that Windows 95 stores its DOS files at C:WINDOWSCOMMAND not C:DOS as in older versions!

All public I/O control codes for drivers of CD-ROM devices use buffered I/O. Consequently, the input or output data for these requests is at Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.
