Win3.1 won't recognize my Cd drive. Help!
Cityscape:
How do i get my Windows 3.1 (running in ms virtual PC 2004) to recognize my CD/DVD drive? Is there a generic driver to install? Can someone give me directions?
BC_Programmer:
you need the CD-ROM driver. I always use OAKCDROM.sys. It's free and you should be able to find a download somewhere.
you'll need to add this line to CONFIG.SYS:
--- Code: ---DEVICE=C:\DOS\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:OAKCD
--- End code ---
and this one to autoexec.bat:
--- Code: ---mscdex /D:OAKCD
--- End code ---
this assumes the driver has been copied to the C:\DOS directory; you can of course change it.
You can also use DEVICEHIGH if you wish. MSCDEX is a utility included with MS-DOS; if you don't have it for some reason it's available for free as well.

I must of missed something. Cause orginally this was before cds. Also they would have been very expensive if you got the beta's if there were any.
BC_Programmer:
what are you talking about?

Cd's didnt exsist then. So its just a matter that I thought that it wasnt possible to set it up to use.
