Installing the MSCDEX Driver
Your CD-ROM will require that the proper MSCDEX driver is loaded on sys-
tem boot-up. During installation, the HOT-235 installation program will take
several steps to insure that the proper MSCDEX is used for your system.
1 First, the HOT-235 installation program will look at your Autoexec.bat
file for an existing MSCDEX driver. If it finds it it, will use it.
2 If it doesn't find it there, it will scan your hard drive to find the
MSCDEX.EXE
program. Usually this will be found with you DOS op-
erating system programs. If the HOT-235 installation program finds
the MSCDEX.EXE program it will use it. If more than one copy of
MSCDEX.EXE exist on your system, the HOT-235 installation program
will display all known files on your system, and ask you to select the
one you want to use.
3 The HOT-235 comes with three MSCDEX drivers. If
MSCDEX.EXE
is not
found on your system, the HOT-235 installation program will check
your DOS version (DOS 5.0, 6.0 and 6.2) , then copy and install the
MSCDEX.EXE program which will work best with your system.
4 If the HOT-235 installation program determines that your DOS ver-
sion is earlier than 5.0, it will request that you use the MSCDEX pro-
gram that came with your CD-ROM drive (available from your CD-
ROM manufacturer). The following line will be added to your
autoexec.bat file:
REM C:\OPTI930\MSCDEX.EXE
When you copy the proper
MSCDEX.EXE
program that works with your
CD-ROM into the C:\OPTI930 subdirectory, edit the above line in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file by removing the word "REM" so that the line looks
as follows:
C:\OPTI930\MSCDEX.EXE
The proper
MSCDEX.EXE
program will then be loaded when you re-
boot your system.
