Hi Mark, The driver in the CONFIG.SYS is a real-mode driver. There are two parts to the CD-ROM drive getting assigned a drive letter. 1) The driver must be loaded in the CONFIG.SYS and properly initialized. 2) MSCDEX.EXE must be run from either the AUTOEXEC.BAT file or directly from a command prompt (the program comes with DOS and/or Windows and is located in the C:\DOS or C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory). The name of the drive must also be the same. For example: If the CONFIG.SYS file looks like: DEVICE=C:\DELL\CDROMDRV.SYS /D:CDROM The MSCDEX should look like this: C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM The name after the /D: switch must be the same for the drive to be assigned properly. I know it's not explained very well, but it's the best I can do at this late hour. Rich
