Pending: Config Sys and Autoexec Files

rcox357 · 06-18-2006

What should be included in these two files, because both of my files are empty? Is there a program or software that I can download to put information into these two files?

Thanks,

Ron

You could edtit them trough start/run/sysedit , but there doesn't have to be info in there , mine are empty to.

What kind of info would you want to add to them , and why?

Hengis,

I am running win98 se... I am trying to get my CD-ROM Drive to work, and have tried everything I know how to get it going. I downloaded the win98se oem bootdisk, but when I start my system from the boot floppy I get a message stating "No Device Found, Aborting Installation."

I just thought maybe there was something missing in my config.sys and/or autoexec files that lets the computer know I have a cd-rom installed.

Any ideas or solutions?

Thanks,

Ron

Thanks for the reply, I just thought information needed to be included in the config.sys and/or autoexec to get my ATAPI IDE CD-ROM Drive to work. I cannot seem to get this drive working; it is not listed at all in my device manager. I downloaded and saved the win98 SE OEM version of bootdisk to a floppy, but when the systems boots from the floppy I am getting an error stating that No Device Drive Found, Aborting Installation.

Any ideas or solutions?

Try this in your autoexec.bat:

@echo off
SET SOUND=C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\CTSND
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE
DOSKEY
CLS

"LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001" - will load the default/generic CD rom drivers.

...and this in the config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
FILES=30
STACKS=0,0
BUFFERS=20
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\MTMCDAI.SYS /D:MSCD0001
