>>config.sys; autoexec.bat Sorry, confused you with my comments to myself. Let's take 'em one at a time. In config.sys: >> DEVICE=a:\CDs\atapi.exe /D:MSCD0001 form here is DEVICE=<pathtodriver> /D:<yourlogicalnameofdriver> Substitute the filename of the driver on the floppy for <pathtodriver>. Substitute a symbolic name for the driver, which you are making up here, for <yourlogicalnameofdriver>. MSCD0001 is a typical name in Microsoft's examples. >> MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001 /V Form here is MSCDEX.EXE /D:<yourlogicalnameofdriver> /V Substitute whatever you assigned for the driver name with the /D switch in the DRIVER= line of config.sys (and you WERE assigning a symbolic name to the driver in that line, so use the same name here). /V just means "Verbose", namely, display what you found as you boot up. If you want to ASSIGN a drive letter to the CD, instead of letting DOS assign it, use the L switch, that is, include (after /V and a space) /L:G to assign drive letter G to your CDrom. This is useful if you have references to the CD in batch files or something. Otherwise, leave it off and let DOS assign the letter. If you have two visible hardrive partitions (C and D) the CD will get E. Go get 'em, tiger.
