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.

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