When re-copying the Setup Diskette to the C:/ there was an autoexec.bat along with config.sys. Config.sys has the four CDROM names, listed 1 - 4. Each line is given a variable name MSCD001. Autoexec.bat uses the MSCD001 name for the MSCDEX command. Here is the config.sys file [menu] menuitem=NEC_IDE, Load NEC IDE CDROM driver menuitem=TOSH_IDE, Load TOSHIBA IDE CDROM driver menuitem=HIT_DVD, Load HITACHI DVD CDROM driver menuitem=ADAPTEC, Load SCSI CDROM driver (Adaptec) menuitem=NOCD, No CDROM support rem Do not really want a default selection rem menudefault=NEC_IDE,30 menucolor=7,0 [NEC_IDE] device=himem.sys /testmem:off device=NEC_IDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 [TOSH_IDE] device=himem.sys /testmem:off device=TAISATAP.SYS /D:MSCD001 [HIT-DVD] device=himem.sys /testmem:off device:HIT-DVD.SYS /D:MSCD001 [ADAPTEC] device=himem.sys /testmem:off rem device=ASPIDISK.SYS device=ASPI8DOS.SYS device=ASPICD.SYS /D:MSCD001 [NOCD] device=himem.sys /testmem:off [COMMON] files=10 buffers=10 dos=high,umb stacks=9,256 lastdrive=z Here is the Autoexec.bat @ECHO OFF set EXPAND=YES SET DIRCMD=/0:N cls set temp=c:\ set tmp=c:\ path=c:\ {NOTE: this parameter was orignally a:\, but I changed it to c:\} IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT LH C:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 :QUIT rem clean up environment variables The CD does spin-up with the CD in it. None of the drivers access the drive or even turn the ID led on. I'm Beginning to wonder if the drive is bad???
