Usb In Dos?

[clp]

Hey again.

I got myself an old 200 mHz laptop, but it had no OS on it when I bought it. And since the cd drive is connected by usb I have trouble installing things - like windows! So now I've intalled dos - but by that there is still no contact with to cd drive.
SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - can a cd drive connected by usb be found in dos?????

PLESE HELP!!!!!!!!!

You will prabally need touse startup disk and have some type of usb support.
Have you tried to use a normal cd rom support?
Does the cmos reconize the cd-rom?(as a boot option or anything?)

Normal cd support? Like a driver? No, not a normal dirver (for win). Triede a couple for "usb" drivers..... doesn't work, I think.
And ad a boot option? On my normal pc (stadionære), it says something like "hit delete for bios" - but doesn't here. If I try, the options I get is "test" - and here I can test the usb (and it says "ok") - but to boot on it??? Noknow.... help me more please
