Dos with CDrom support
Hey guys/gals, I can't seem to find the version of dos that allows cdrom support on (drive r: I think it was). I remember using it awile ago, but can't remember what it's called so I'm having trouble finding it. Anyone have any ideas?
What I need to do is boot an .exe that's on a cd on a comp with no OS installed. |

The old win98 bootdisk had cdrom support, so if U have acess to a Win98 or a winME machine you could make one. It will be drive letter E: with those bootdisks though, but that should not matter to you as long as you know what drive it is. Here also is a website that specializes in what U are seeking:
www.bootdisk.com

Nevermind, I got it figured out. Just used a windows 98 bootdisk.
Edit: oops, sorry I just saw your post, we must have posted at the same time. It worked like a charm. Thanks for the reply. |

. . . and just for more info in case you've an interest in trivia: the DOS on those Win98/Win98se bootdisks is DOS 7. And the bootdisks that use the drive letter "R" for the cd-drive are usually the ones from ktkendall's recommended site: bootdisk.com.
. . . now I can go defrag my hippocampus since I've accessed those ancient memories . . . Gary |
