The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

mscdex.exe (CD driver)

Asked by ram_einstein in MS DOS

Tags: cd

Consider this situation...

A computer with formatted HDD. Without changing the boot sequence in BIOS, I want to install a version of Windows (say XP) All the reqd files are on a cd. Now, I use a boot disk (Standard Win98 boot disk) to create one FAT32 partition(say C:\) using fdisk. I want to copy all files from the cd manually to the HDD (using copy *.* _ _) The destination is C:\ but the source is the cd. I have a dos driver for a cd drive on a floppy. Files on floppy: mscdex.exe, sscdrom.sys, mscdx221.exe and oakcdrom.sys

How do I use these files to assign a drive letter for my cd drive? Or do I need some more files? (If so please specify location: where to get them, and instructions for use)

After I manage to copy all the files on the cd to C:\ which file should I execute to begin the Windows XP installation? Setup.exe will not run on DOS.

Please post clear cut instructions because I am a total amateur at computers.

Thanks in advance and regards,

Ram
