How likely is it that something as recent as DVD drives has drivers for something as old as DOS?
There are CD-ROM DOS drivers for 52x CD-ROMs.
Win98 startup disk contains drivers for CD / DVD drives.
Depends what you need to do? :) :)
As long as your not trying to watch a DVD in DOS than you shouldnt have any problems reading the drive.:bigyello:Quote:

I could not get any DOS CD-ROM drivers to read the drive.
Its a CDRW/DVD-ROM combo. I did eventually get a DOS driver.
So I now have a bootable DVD with a ghost image of a computer on it.
It loads himem.sys to LH and DEVICEHIGH files, creates a ramdrive of 4mb (q:), copies the mouse driver in there and copies mscdex there.
Loads the mouse driver, loads mscdex (creates a p:), copies DriveImage from p: into q:.
Executes q:\pqdi.exe (powerquest drive image), pointed via command line switches at the 4GB image file on the DVD to restore.
Booyeah :D
you could just use ghost and a CD :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'm using the equivalent of ghost. And the image file is 4.5GB ;)
i bet that doesnt take long to load..
