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=<path>\BTCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 autoexec: SMARTDRV LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 <path>/mouse.exe you will probably have to run a program in your autoexec to "slow" down some things, like grafx (i think) thankies, you too
you need to replace <path> 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
