/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 you will
specify 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 to start 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 as you specified by the

/D:

switch of EXPCDI.EXE in your CONFIG.SYS file. The

/M:

switch

indicates how much memory to allocate for caching information on the
CD-ROM. The default

/M:4

caches 8KB.

For more information about the switches of MSCDEX, please type “

help

MSCDEX

” at the DOS prompt.

Now, reboot your computer to activate the CD-ROM drive drivers.
