some how I lost the cd-rom driver for dos?
Can't access my cd-rom from dos now? Received an error that MSCD001 was missing? CD-rom driver not loaded?
How do I get this back. I have some cd-rom IDE/ATAPI INTERFACE installation disk's
they don't work either?
boots and gives a bad command in line # of config.sys. etc. etc.
help? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Make sure that MSCDEX.EXE is loading in your autoexec.bat file and your real mode cdrom driver is loading in config.sys.
Your Autoexec should have a line simalar to this
D:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /V /M:8 /L:E

and your config.sys will have a line like this

DEVICE=C:\CDTECH.SYS /D:MSCD001 /UDMA2 /V

you can use pretty much any real mode cdrom driver for any cdrom. If you use windows 98 there is one on the boot disk you made. Oakcd.sys or something like that. Hope this helps
