Yep, you guessed it, I'm trying to install a cd/dvd rom in DOS.

I have installed multiple drivers to the same outcome: multiple errors.

When the driver loads, I get a "No drives found, aborting installation" error, then when the command C:\dos\mscdex.exe /D:MSCD000 /L:D
runs, it gets a "Device driver not found: 'MSCD000'. No valid CDROM device drivers selected." error.

My config.sys file consists of:
Stuff for the PC controller (did I mention the ROM connects through the PCMIA?)
DEVICE = C:\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 (this is the generic windows 98 startup disk driver, I have tried others)

The autoexec.bat file consists of:
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /L:D
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $P$G
PATH C:\DOS
SET TEMP=C:\DOS

And last but not least, my Mscdex.exe consists of:
a lot of jargon.

I know that all of the paths above stated are correct.

If anyone can tell me what exactly should be written in these files that isn't, or if someone can at least pinpoint the problem (not sure if it's the driver, what's written in these files, or the PC controller), I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Have these lines in your config.sys

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
LASTDRIVE=D
DEVICE=OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001

autoxec.bat seems ok....
Good luck.

Can someone please answer this question____
I am trying to fix up my older computer for my grand-daughter.
After formating my hard drive- format C: /s
it does not recognize that there is a CD-Rom drive.
How do I get it to recognize D drice so I can re-install Windows-98 ?

Thanks ! Jim

Jim, this is a really old thread. You'd get a lot better response by posting this as a new question, rather than a response to an old question.
