/P 

is used to set the I/O ports, and the valid numbers are 320, 340, and 360, and the default 

setting is 

/P:320

/D 

is used to set the device name. It can be any name up to 8 characters. This name must be the 

same as the name specified in the MSCDEX.EXE option /D:

name

 in the next step. 

 

4.  Add the following line at the

 

TOP of your AUTOEXEC.BAT: 

drive:\path

\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:4 

 

Where 

drive:\path

 

specifies the DOS directory or the directory containing the file 

MSCDEX.EXE. 

Note: If your AUTOEXEC.BAT file loads a menu program such as DOSSHELL or Windows, you 

have to add the above line in front of your menu program. Otherwise, MSCDEX will not 

have a chance to load before your menu program begins. 

The example above shows the default setting. The 

/D:

 switch indicates the device name.  It 

MUST be the same name specified by the 

/D:

 switch of ARICDF.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS 

file. The 

/M:

 switch indicates how much memory to allocate for caching information on the 

DVD-ROM. The default 

/M:4

 caches 8KB. 

For more information about the switches of MSCDEX, please type  

‘help MSCDEX’

 at the DOS 

prompt. 

 

5.  Now, reboot your computer to activate the external DVD-ROM drive.
