Solve : Old Computer with bad hard drive - need help with autoexec.bat?

Answer»

I have an old laptop with a bad hard drive. The laptop is an CTX Ezbook 700.
I was able to correctly install EVERYTHING - except the CD Rom Drive.

It is working in DOS 5. I made changes to the SETUP, created a new config.sys and Autoexec.bat. When it starts now, there are no obvious errors it Setup, the config.sys has no obvious errors. The autoexec tells me I have successfully
installed Drive C: (even though I specified drive d: in the autoexec file.).

When I check further, d: does not WORK c: does not produce an error
c: is there logically - but there is no actual c: drive so I cant't use that either.

Is the Problem in Setup or in the autoexec.bat or did I miss something in the Config.sys file.

I tried putting in a LINUX disk in the cd drive - but that didn't work either

It SOUNDS like you are booting from a floppy? In which case A: and B: are reserved for floppy drives, then C will be the system (MS-DOS) drive if present, and if not that letter will get assigned to the CD-ROM. The autoexec massage must be from MSCDEX.


Massage.....

Post the config.sys and autoexec.bat files for review...
