MS-DOS and Windows 3.x
(CD-ROM's for Windows are installed via MS-DOS but may have a Windows Setup available)
In order to use a CD-ROM Drive, your computer must first have a CD-ROM software driver installed. This is usually supplied with the drive but may not necessarily have been installed. The CD-ROM software driver is normally supplied on a floppy disk and includes a SETUP or INSTALL program. Following installation, the CD-ROM software driver is normally loaded at system startup time via a series of entries in the machine's C:CONFIG.SYS & C:AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
For example:
[config.sys]
DEVICE=C:DOSHIMEM.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:DOSoakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001
LASTDRIVE=F
[autoexec.bat]
LH C:DOSMSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /l:D
The first /D: switch is the drive number, which must be the same in both config.sys and autoexec.bat. In the above example its '/D:mscd001'. (If you had 2 drives fitted the second may be /D:mscd002) The /l:D switch sets a drive letter for your CD-ROM. (In this case DriveD:) You can make this anything you want after your Hard Drives that is not taken, but make sure you put a 'LASTDRIVE=' line at the end of config.sys to allow for enough environmental space. This can be made as the letter after your last drive in use (i.e. =F) as each letter used, uses a small piece of available environment. (LASTDRIVE=Z would enable ALL available Drive Letters) In this example HIMEM.SYS is used to load driver into upper memory block.
oakcdrom.sys = CD-ROM Driver (Which is named differently by each manufacturer) and can be located in its own directory.
MSCDEX.EXE is provided as part of MS-DOS and sometimes on Install Disk as well.
HIMEM.SYS is provided as part of MS-DOS and enables use of the upper memory area.
Windows 95
Windows 95 does not need a CD-ROM Driver installed as above, as it installs its own driver. However you may want to install a DOS Driver in this way to enable you to use your CD-ROM at the DOS Prompt. Remember that Windows 95 stores its DOS files at C:WINDOWSCOMMAND not C:DOS as in older versions!

A Windows 98 Startup Disk is a considerable improvement on that produced by earlier versions of Windows, not least because it contains a number of generic, real-mode ATAPI CD-ROM and SCSI drivers that allow CD-ROM devices to become available when running Windows 98 from the Startup Disk. However, it is not guaranteed that one of these drivers will work with any CD-ROM device. Rather, they are provided as a replacement in the event that the real-mode drivers that came with your CD-ROM are unavailable. If you’re unlucky, and your CD-ROM drive doesn’t work with any of the generic drivers on the Windows 98 Startup Disk – or if you don’t want to take the chance that it will – you can actually add the specific real mode driver for your drive to the disk.
Real mode refers to an operating mode of x86 chips that replicates the memory management used by 8086 or 8088 chips, characterised by an absence of memory management or memory protection features and limiting the processor to 1MB of memory. MS-DOS runs in real mode, and the phrase is often used to describe 16-bit MS-DOS device drivers.
The biggest problem is doing this is often locating your CD-ROM drive’s real mode driver in the first place. If you’re lucky, you’ll have this either on a floppy disk or CD-ROM that came with your drive. If you haven’t, and the machine on which you’re planning to do the clean reinstall on is still operational, you may be able to find the driver you’re looking for there.
The place to look is the config.sys file in the root folder of your C: drive. If this contains a line that looks something like …
device=c:cdromgscdrom.sys /d:mscd000 /v
… and the gscdrom.sys file is where it says it is, you’re in luck.
If you can’t locate the real mode driver you need on floppy or CD-ROM media or on your hard drive, the next place to try is the Internet. To do this, you’re first going to have to identify your CD-ROM drive model. To do so, you need to find out precisely what model of CD-ROM drive it is that you have.
To do this you’ll need to remove its securing screws and the EIDE and PSU cables plugged into the back of the drive. Slide the drive out of its bay and you ought to be able to find a sticker somewhere on its casing that identifies its unique FCC ID.
We’ll use BEJCRD-8322B as an example of how to locate a download of the associated real mode driver and how to add it to your Windows 98 Startup disk.
Details about any equipment displaying such a label label can be found in the Federal Communications Commission database:
Type in the FCC ID as shown above and, so long as the database has a record of it, you’ll be able to access all sorts of useful product documentation:
However, for information concerning the availability of downloadable drivers, you’ll need to visit a specialist driver site such as missingdrivers.com. Click on the CD-ROM Drivers category to locate the manufacturer you’re after:
Click on it and if you’re even luckier, you’ll see the model number you’re looking for:
The real mode driver is the one identified as being a 16 bit DOS driver. When you download and unpack the CDROM.ZIP file, you’ll have a set of files like these. The Gscdrom.sys file is the real mode driver.
What you need to do now is copy Gscdrom.sys and the associated unzipped driver files to a folder on your Windows 98 Startup Disk and edit its Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files.
The portion of the Config.sys file that you’re interested in are the lines marked as [CD], where the set of generic CD-ROM drivers are referenced.
Using a text editor such as Wordpad, add a line that references the gscdrom.sys file.

The /D:mscd001 /v part of the line renames the driver when it is loaded into memory. The important thing here is to ensure that the Autoexec.bat file references this by the same name as the Config.sys file.
