hi
my aim is pretty simple - i just want to boot into any dos type interface and then access the cd drive - e.g e:\setup.exe however all the dos utilities i try cannot seem to browse the cd drive - not even commands such as cd c: - comes up as drive not recognised or some such - i am using ntfs - the drive is formatted - cd drive works fine ... it is a pmcia cd drive on a sony vaio laptop - looking at the docs for the various dos programs looks like this should be supported ... any help thanks
