If not: config.sys: --------------- device=c:\mtmcdai.sys /D:XXX autoexec.bat: ------------------- c:\mscdex.exe /D:XXX /M:10 XXX can be any name, but it has to be the same name as you assigned it to the driver in config.sys You can also add /L:<letter> to mscdex to manualy assign drive letter for cd-rom drive (beware of LASTDRIVE value), if omitted, cd-rom has the next available letter after all fixed drives had been assigned. For example - all IDE and SCSI disks or even removable SyQuest if you mounted it as non-removable. Hope this'll help.
