How to get cd-rom to work in DOS???
I have a am486dx4 120mhz with 24 megs ram. No sound card. Creative 8X cd-rom. It has a 1.2 gig hard-drive. I have just installed MS_DOS 6.22 on the machine and it works fine. I have tried numerous drivers and programs that try and configure dos to recognize the cdrom, none work correctly. I have a copy of mscdex.exe residing on c:\mscdex.exe. Nothing I do seems to work. Any suggestions will be a life saver. No windows95/98/nt will be put on this machine, just DOS. Thank you for your suggestions.

thanks for your answer it was right,
the real problem was that the cdrom's jumper
was set to master and I needed it to be set to
slave. I tried your solution and it did not work the
first time. I then switched the jumper and it worked
perfect. Thank you very much for your quick response.
