This is with 32MB of RAM, for crying out loud! So I try to run the batch from DOS, but I get the message, "can't switch to protected mode." So I try the boot floppy, which works, until I get to the point where I tell it that I want to install from a CD, and then I get some message telling me that it can't find my CD-ROM drive, which I know is there, cause Windows can see it. ARRRGH! Any advice??
