Hello. I was wandering if anyone can help: Can you please tell me how to edit one of the CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and/or MSDOS.SYS file(s) so that I can load a program before DOS loads the drivers? Or, can someone send me a HYPERLINK?

Thanks,
Adam.From the command prompt type....

edit autoexec.bat

I know how to edit the files, but what do I put INSIDE them?Assuming Windows 98 or lower then you put in commands that set the path, start TSR programs, load certain device drivers, etc. What you put in them is totally dependant on what you want to do and what hardware you are using.

If you are trying to do this on a computer with a Windows version greater than Windows 98 it will not use these files on boot up, only in specially configured command prompt windows or booting to command prompt only.

So you will need to provide use with significantly more information if you want some specific answers.it is for a DOS 6.22 bootdisk
OK, I will try this one more time.

What, other than booting the computer, do you want this disk to do for you?

For example....
If you want it to load your CD drivers then you need to find the appropriate device drivers from your CD manufacturer and then read the instructions for loading those drivers from you CD manufacturer's documentation. If you want it to load another device, then the same procedures apply.

I want the disk to load a DOS prompt so that I can load a game from the CD. I already have the CD-ROM and mouse drivers,

But my question is, how do I edit the files so that the computer loads a program BEFORE the drivers?You can't get there from here. Some drivers are required or the SYSTEM simply will not FUNCTION. After the BIOS loads the basic drivers it hands control to the OS. The OS then looks first at the config.sys for loadable device drivers which tell it how the system should be configured. These include such things as memory managers, CD rom drivers, etc. After these are loaded, it then turns to autoexec.bat to perform any additional operations specified by the user. You can use different configurations by using the CHOICE command to set them up. But loading a program to the exclusion of all drivers is simply impossible.Maybe a Startup Menu will do what you want:
