I get it when I try accessing my cdrom drive, such as after a DIR command. I think it is a hardware error, as I've created a minimal startup diskette and have been to use it on a similarly configured CD-ROM workstation without error, but my office machine won't read the drive. I am able to get MSCDEX to load properly and I can switch to the CD's drive letter. An help would be appreaciated.
