Hello. I just recently pulled an old computer of mine back out and reinstalled Win98 on it so that I could run older games without having to worry about emulation problems. When I first reinstalled, my recovery disk made two logical partitions on my HD, C: and D: and it set my CDROM drive to G:. After trying to install Stonekeep from within Windows, and then getting an error during sound setup about missing files, I figured that Stonekeep was probably looking at the D drive instead of G. So I removed my D: partition and reassigned my CDROM drive to D:. But now when I boot into DOS I get an "Invalid Drive Specification" when I try to change to D:. I've edited my autoexec.bat and config.sys files for DOS and I have support for everything I should, I believe. Here are copies of those files:


AUTOEXEC.BAT
------------------
SET WINBOOTDIR=C:\WINDOWS
LH C:\WINDOWS\AU30DOS.COM
@ECHO OFF
LH /L:1 C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3 T4
PROMPT $P$G
REM
REM The following lines have been created by Windows. Do not modify them.
REM
C:
CD C:\WINDOWS
CALL C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM /WX


CONFIG.SYS
---------------
NUMLOCK=ON
BREAK=ON
DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO
FILESHIGH=40
FCBSHIGH=1,0
BUFFERSHIGH=30,0
LASTDRIVEHIGH=J
STACKSHIGH=9,256

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /V
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386 RAM /MIN=0 IB000-B7FF /V
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSC000
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:1024 /P


I tried the boot disk from this site, in fact that's where most of the content of my autoexec.bat and config.sys came from. I just copied all the files from the boot disk into c:\dos. I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSC000

I think that's where the problem lies, though don't take my word for it.

well you do load a cdrom driver
but you don't load mscdex.exe

Avoid editing autoexec.bat and config.sys files, and create your self a shortcut. Saves a lot of problems you might get with windows, and once in the DOS mode, only when you type exit it will boot windows.
