Hello,

I have seen, that there is an s-ata driver for optical devices implemented on ubcd. Can anybody explain me? How could I implement it myself to a dos batch???

I found the driver gcdrom.sys. But if I implement it to my batch, it doesn't work. :?:

Could anybody help me???

Kind regards

Mario

device /q GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 /Cn
where n is the device controller.

or use the modboot to launch.

It doesn't fit!

Thank you for your answer.
Your answer seems to be correct - but in my case - it is not the solution.
Is there an other possibility to edit the gcdrom driver to my batch?

My sourcecode is:

In my config sys:
DEVICE=XCDROM.SYS /D:CDROM
DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:CDROM
or
your remark:
device /q GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 /Cn

in my Autoexec.bat:
MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM /L:X

Could you help me???

ah, ok. if you're installing the driver from config.sys then try this:

Code: Select all

device[high]=GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 /Cn
where n=1..3

i believe your autoexec should then contain:

Code: Select all

MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM /L:n
again, where n=1..3

assuming your sata device is valid, it should work.

Good idea - but not the solution

Hello,


if have practiced your solution.

I implemented your sourcecode but only get the message:

"A:\>MSCDEX.EXE /D:CDROM /L:n "

(it doesn't matter if I change the n to 1...3)

"Device driver not found: 'CDROM'
No valid CDROM device driver selected"

What did I do wrong???
Do you have any idea?

config.sys

Code: Select all

DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 /C0   
DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 /C1
DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD002 /C2
autoexec.bat

Code: Select all

MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD002

what error message(s) do you get?
