Troubleshooting C-3

Problem

I do not know how to specify the settings for the
MSCDEX driver when I have two or more CD-ROM
drives using different device drivers in my system. For
example, I have a Creative IDE and another CD-ROM
drive connected to my system.

Solution

Modify the MSCDEX statement in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include a second device name
e.g., MSCD002 (see the following statement).

[path]MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD002 /V /M:8

This statement defines the MSCDEX driver for two
CD-ROM drives with device names MSCD001 and
MSCD002. These device names have to be identical to
the device names for the respective CD-ROM device
drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file as shown below.

DEVICE= [path]SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001

/P:1E8,11 /V

DEVICE= [path]xxx

.

SYS /D:MSCD002

SBIDE.SYS is the device driver for Creative
IDE CD-ROM drive and xxx.SYS is the device
driver for the other CD-ROM drive.
