Windows, Networking and Software
FAQ, Tips, Hints, and Wisdom for Windows 98x/XP
David Gok 76
When booting with the CD it will create a Ram disk and store the Dos utilities located in the EBD.CAB file
in it. This should leave you with enough conventional memory for the install and you should have CDROM
support.
The Ram disk will assume a drive letter so your CDROM drive letter will temporarily go up one e.g. D: to
E.
Boot Disks
See the site http://www.mirrors.org/www.bootdisk.com/. Many boot disk .exe files are on the download
CD. This is a great general purpose site for Windows information.
Use thepatch to add universal CDrom drivers, a universal config.sys, and a universal autoexec.bat to your
bootdisk. To standardize any of your personal bootdisks with universal cdrom drivers and make it work
faster, you can download thepatch to a clean folder, click on it, and then copy everything over to your
bootdisk except the file called thepatch.exe. It will put 4 standard cdrom drivers on your bootdisk and also
overwrite the config.sys and autoexec.bat with easier to work with, more universal files.
If cd1.sys doesn't find your cdrom drive, then you can edit the config.sys and change cd1.sys to cd2.sys and
so on. Just change the 1 to a 2, easy huh? Also, if your cdrom is on a odd channel, you might try
unremming some or all of the lines you see in my version of config.sys.
If the set of generic cdrom drivers do not work, then you have to try downloading the driver from the
cdrom manufacturers website or download a cdrom setup disk. If you don't know who made your cdrom,
you can check for a FCCID number and go to the FCCID search form and try to find out. If you are lucky,
the manufacturer's name will be printed on top.
Reminder, you should have at least a basic disk that at least starts your computer before you apply thepatch.
Your basic disk must at least include the startup files, mscdex.exe, and himem.sys.
