I have recently placed a new hard drive in my old computer. In the process I had to totally reformate this drive. Somewhere along the line I lost my CD ROM. I have downloaded the driver, but seem to be a bit inept at the correct DOS commands that allow me to install this driver during startup. I believe I must configure autoexe.bat and config.sys at the least. anyone got a place to point me or any ideas? frosted
ok here goes
Simplest way if you haven't got a Win98 bootdisk.
- Format the Hard Disk using the command FORMAT C:/S
- Reboot and install the CD-ROM drivers.
- This should then create the AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS for you.
- If you require MSCDEX.EXE then email me and I will send it to you if it isn't supplied on your drivers disk.

Config.Sys should contain a line like the following.
Device=C:\[path]\sbide.sys /D:MSCDOO1
where sbide.sys is replaced with the name of your *.sys driver.
Autoexec.bat containing this line.
C:\[path]\mscdex d:\mscdoo1
Ensure the the last switch statment {/d:mscdex001} is identical in each file or the drivers will fail to initalize.
