[RESOLVED] mscdex?

[dssbum]

I installed winME on a 600mhz pentium system that had been running a toshiba dvd and a yamaha 2100ez. After having some problems with system locking-up, removed winME and system is now '98se again. I also have remove the yamaha to put in another system. Everything seemed ok until I installed a game which needs to run in the pure dos mode(Jetfighter 3 Platinum). While trying to figure out problem I discovered that dos does not recognize my cd/dvd player. I went to Toshibas site and downloaded drivers to supposedly get it to work in dos. During the loading of driver it says I don't have mscdex? OK....Where do I get mscdex? How do I get dos to recognize cd?

Look in c:\windows\command\ or to make it simple, while at the destop hit F3, find files\folders, in search type mscdex.exe , have it search the whole C: drive for this file. The cd-rom driver should prompt you for this info, it should ask you where this exec file is located, usually they do. If for some reason you don't have this file in the C:\windows\command directory, extract if from the Win98 CD. Need help doing that, post back again.

mscdex.exe goes in your autoexec.bat file and should read:
mscdex /d:[device name specified in config.sys]
