That was the ticket! CD drive is working in pure DOS and restart to DOS now. If you have an ATAPI drive you dont need a driver for Windows. If you are going for 'restart in MS-DOS mode', put GSCDROM under COMMON in CONFIG.SYS and put the MSCDEX in DOSSTART.BAT.Įither way, it seems like the IF %CDROM% check should be removed. Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME has a built in generic driver for ATAPI compliant CD-ROM drives. If you are going for pure DOS - change the MENUDEFAULT timeout to something non-zero, so you can select between DOS and Windows. They are not designed for 'Restart in MS-DOS mode', which is what you seem to be trying (deducing from your comment about DOSSTART.BAT). It looks like you have a mess here, because these files are obviously designed for a situation where Windows does not automatically load itself (BootGUI=0 in MSDOS.SYS), so you have 'pure DOS mode' versus 'Windows'. What's the purpose of "IF %CDROM%.=TRUE."?

So, if you put your GSCDROM under, which you never choose, because it defaults to after 0 seconds, then it never gets loaded, obviously.
