I did a custom install and that is what was put in. After you asked this, I looked at the README file. /P:xxx,yy is a port number in hex (xxx) and the IRQ of the IDE device in decimal (yy). I remembered that vide-cdd.sys detected my drive at 170h, but I know that the IRQ is set at 12, but up in the /P 's we have /P:170,15. I changed it to 170,12 and volia! It worked. A mystery still remains on why it worked so easily in Linux and not in DOS. Oh well. Marc: I'm still using NWCDEX, but if it gives me trouble I'll switch to MSCDEX (though I'm not for M$, but if it works . . . ). And I did send both my config.sys and autoexec.bat as separate attachments. It's interesting that Juno gave you one but not the other. I apologize for that. later, - mikeh -- ============================================================================== || Mike Hostetler || || http://www.binary.net/thehaas || || email1: mhostetl AT cse DOT unl DOT edu || || email2: thehaas AT binary DOT net || ============================================================================== || `When you say "I wrote a program that crashed Windows", people just || || stare at you blankly and say "Hey, I got those with the system, || || *for free*".' - Linus Torvalds || ==============================================================================
