Creative GCD-R542B manual PathMSCDEX /DMSCD001 /DMSCD002 /V /M8

Problem I do not know how to specify the settings for the MSCDEX driver when I have two or more CD-ROM drives using different device drivers in my system. For example, I have a Creative IDE and another CD-ROM drive connected to my system.

Solution Modify the MSCDEX statement in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to include a second device name e.g., MSCD002 (see the following statement).

[path]MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /D:MSCD002 /V /M:8

This statement defines the MSCDEX driver for two CD-ROM drives with device names MSCD001 and MSCD002. These device names have to be identical to the device names for the respective CD-ROM device drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file as shown below.

DEVICE= [path]SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001

/P:1E8,11 /V

DEVICE= [path]xxx.SYS /D:MSCD002

SBIDE.SYS is the device driver for Creative IDE CD-ROM drive and xxx.SYS is the device driver for the other CD-ROM drive.
