Default REM tag problems...

Some dumbass wrote a REM tag into this install of 98 that precludes changing any optical/HDD type devices. So, when I put a DVD/CDRW in it, it refuses to see the drive. Any suggestions?

Get a Win98 boot disk, boot the coputer from the floppy, start installation manually.

EDIT: You mean during installation, or am I just being totally inadequate?

No, in Windows it has no CD, In BIOS it does.

Have you tried the "Add New Hardware" wizard?

OK, here's another one. Is the device type in BIOS set to CDROM or AUTO?

We're reinstalling Windows. It was set up on a proprietary, use our stuff or no work policy. The store that did it is out of business now because of it.
