Troubleshooting C-3
Problem
I do not know how to specify the settings for the
MSCDEX driver when I have two or more CD-ROM
drives using different device drivers in my system. For
example, I have a Creative IDE and another CD-ROM
drive connected to my system.
Solution
Modify the MSCDEX statement in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include a second device name
e.g., MSCD002 (see the following statement).
[path]MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD002 /V /M:8
This statement defines the MSCDEX driver for two
CD-ROM drives with device names MSCD001 and
MSCD002. These device names have to be identical to
the device names for the respective CD-ROM device
drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file as shown below.
DEVICE= [path]SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001
/P:1E8,11 /V
DEVICE= [path]xxx
.
SYS /D:MSCD002
SBIDE.SYS is the device driver for Creative
IDE CD-ROM drive and
xxx
.SYS is the device
driver for the other CD-ROM drive.
