I recently bought a CD Rom (the one that comes with the SBPRO multimeda start up kit).. I have a question for anyone out there.. mscdex.exe has a few options that you can specify but my manual doesn't cover what they are or what they do.. can anyone tell me.. the options in question are /v /e /c if you know what any of these do.. i would greatly appriciate your assistance.. thanks.

Gerald, /v is verbose (I think). /e – use expanded memory if present. /M – number of cache buffers (not soff ure what size) /L – drive letter to use for CD-ROM. /D – driver name used by HW driver (default mscd001). So the line: MSCDEX /D:SONY /E /M:4 /L:F – would be load mscdex for the CD-ROM driver SONY, use epanded memory, use 4 cache buffers and set F: as the CD-ROM drive. -Clarke
