Hey all!
To begin with: I'm kinda new to the whole computer-thing. I have currently installed Windows 7 with VWware Workstation. For some reason the cd-rom drive isn't working. I read a previous post about the same problem, but it just doesn't work.
My config.sys looks like this:
device=c:\dos\setver.exe
device=c:\dos\himem.sys
dos=high
files=30
lastdrive=d
devicehigh=c:\cdrom\oakcdrom.sys /d:aokide01
My autoexec.bat is like this:
c:\dos\smartdrv.exe /x
@echo off
Prompt$g$p
path c:\dos
set temp=c:\dos
lh c:\dos\mscdex.exe /d:oakide01
lh c:\dos\smartdrv
I loaded the oakcdrom.sys as a floppy image.
I probably did a thousand things wrong, but could you please help me? I'd really appreciate that!
Welcome to the Community,
I posted an MS-DOS configuration some time ago at http://communities.vmware.com/message/1650677

I tried your configuration. Previously, he just didn't see the cd-rom drive, now he misses the himem.sys and the emm386.sys, plus he doens't accept any commands aymore, saying it cannot acces the drive.
So, I did a fresh install, but now I'm back to the start :S
Which MS-DOS version are you trying to run?
How did you configure the virtual machine? Please attach the vmx file.
