CREATIVE 4X CD-ROM Drives GCD-R542B - Manual (Page 33)

Setting Up Your CD-ROM Drive 2-18
The installation program creates a directory to store the accompanying
software. The program adds the following statements to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files respectively:
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
C:\path\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /M:8 /V
CONFIG.SYS:
DEVICE=C:\path\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1E8,11 /V
If you are connecting your drive to the hard disk controller
card, the statement added to your CONFIG.SYS is
DEVICE=C:\path\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:1F0,14 /V
For more information on these two statements, refer to the section
“Changing the Driver Settings” in Chapter 4. It is important to reboot
your system for the changes to take effect. When you reboot, the
MSCDEX statement will display the drive letter assigned to your
CD-ROM drive.
If you wish to connect your new drive to your existing
CD-ROM drive, read the section “Connecting Additional
Drives” in Chapter 4. If you wish to replace your current
CD-ROM drive with this new drive, remove your drive’s driver
settings from the CONFIG.SYS file before you reboot your
system. Refer to your DOS manual for more information.
Testing the Installation
After installing the software and rebooting your system, you need to
ensure that your CD-ROM drive and drivers are installed properly.
Before you test your drive, make sure a pair of speakers are connected
to your system. If you do not have an audio card, connect your
speakers to the Stereo Phone Jack on your drive’s front panel.
To test that your drive is working properly:
1. Load an audio CD onto your disc tray.
2. Change to the installed directory.
3. Type TESTCD and press <Enter>.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
