DVD Dos Drivers

[stevej]

Does anyone know where I can find dos drivers for DVD CD-Roms?

Two Questions:

IDE or SCSI?
Do you just want the thing to read CD-ROMs in DOS or do you actually want it to read DVDs in DOS?

IDE, and we actually have a need to read a dvd in dos.

[Gumby]

I have never seen anything that will let you read DVDs in DOS? Can I ask why would you want to do that?

[stevej]

A government program they want to run in dos. I know...kinda goofy.

Have you tried a DOS cd-rom driver?

The problem with your machine sir is that the nut behind the wheel has a screw loose.

:flames:
Ghost 2002 says to install a driver for the DVD / CD in the DOS boot floppy.

How ever I have not been able to find any drivers for DVD's in DOS.

If you have found a solution please let me know.

Most dvd drives don't need a driver... the driver is not the usual sort, it actually needs a ASPI driver. Ghost comes with the most used ASPI layers.

Your problem will be that Ghost is not compatible with all DVDs

this is for 2003 (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ghost.nsf/docid/2002030414141625)

The list is for 2003, 2002s list was much shorter and did not support usb dvd or cds.

Thanks for the information !

I guess I'll need to upgrade to the newest version of Ghost.
I did down load the files from one of the links that you sent me.

Your help has been much appreciated.
