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.
