I need config.sys and autoexec help!

[Gwb]

But it works in Windows? Is it an IDE (ATAPI) CD-Rom?

So to clarify, in your config sys you have:

DEVICEHIGH=C:\Drivers\jload.exe C:\Drivers\XCDROM32.DLL /D:CD

and in the autoexec.bat it is:

LH C:\Drivers\SHSUCDX.EXE /C /D:CD /L:D

That is correct

That should work just fine with an IDE (atapi) cd-rom. Can you post the exact error (word of word) and any error numbers that it gives you?

Yep, the cdrom works just fine in Windows. What has been loaded in DOS can be seen on the screen. The thing I see that is wrong is

"SHSUCDX Installed.
Drives Assigned
Drive  Driver  Unit
-----  -----  ---- *
D:     CD       0
Label not found"

*The hypens are not acutally in the message, but what I added to show that Drive/Driver/Unit address D:/CD/0

When I attempt to access a file in the D drive it gives the error

"Bad command or file name"

When I use the command "dir d:" DOS gives the error

" Volume in drive D has no label
Not ready"

When the system starts up and you get the menu, press F8 to step by step starup then go through the commands one at a time to see if any error out.

This might help isolate the issue, as I am leaning towards the XCDROM32.DLL being the issue, but you won't be sure till you've run each command one after the other and seen the output.

Seems like XCDROM32.DLL is loading properly

If you need help getting this to work, I have some MS-CDEX drivers that will work on just about any CD drive under DOS and will give you CD access under Windows. Do you want disk images of these floppy disks or do you want to figure out the problem yourself?

I would appreciate the disk images if that is not too much trouble. Later today I will download different versions of xcdrom32 and see the one I'm trying to use is messed up.
