config.sys:
DEVICE=BTCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=EMM386.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB

im making a boot 'n play dvd-rom, its contents will be games and a dos boot OS only.
i know a bit about config.sys, i have a few games that needs EMS im guessing the EMs386 is it

and the autoexec:
SMARTDRV
LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /L
echo. things to do before i die: get a life

i know you have to put devicehigh for some things to make it better but need assistance for that is this config.sys and autoexec file OK, what can be added/changed for best results, for instance: dos=high,umb

thanks m.xmas

what version of DOS are you using ?
[ot]if DOS 6.xx that config.sys and autoexec.bat will not work[/ot]

im open to suggestions. i make the bootdisk from a whole range of OS’s: Bootdisk.Com and transfer the sys files onto dvd using nero

i have the sys files for the cd which ill copy over to dvd

well personally i’d use the latest DOS (6.22)

BTW: i’ve made a few minor correction to your autoexec & config

config
DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=EMM386.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=\BTCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001

autoexec:
SMARTDRV
LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001
/mouse.exe

you will probably have to run a program in your autoexec to “slow” down some things, like grafx (i think)

you need to replace with the path to the particular item / program you want to run

BTW: it will be easier to use the boot CD / DVD if it had a boot menu on it, chech this

BTW: forgot to mention DOS is limited to a 2Gb HDD partition
