Hi All,

I am giving away 2 of 1.4k and 2 of 720k or 4 720k 3.5" Colour Disks for
the problem to be solved below, posted free.

I have a Sony CDU33A Double Speed Drive and Windows 95.

When I load Windows 95, The CD Rom drive works, but when I
shutdown Windows 95 to MSDOS, it won't work for my DOS CDRom Games,
when changing drive C to E (CD Rom Drive).

My Configuration in DOSSTART.BAT under WIN Directory is:

LH MOUSE
C:\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:E
FILES=40
DOSKEY

My Configuration in CONFIG.SYS is:

DEVICE=C:\WIN\Himem.Sys
DEVICE=C:\WIN\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
BUFFERS=23,0
FILES=40
DOS=UMB
LASTDRIVE=Z
FCBS=16,8
DOS=HIGH

When loading in Dos it says:

C:\>C:\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /L:E
Device Driver not found: 'MSCD001'.
No valid CDROM device drivers selected

Do you think a file is missing? If so please attach a file (if you have
it) with your message.

Please note: The 1st person solved this problem gets the free disks.

Please supply your postal address with correct configurations and
Driver File.

Thanking you for your assistance,

Regards Chris
