[Ham-Computers] Need help with DOS

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 12:18:44 -0600

With a CD-ROM in the drive, at the DOS command prompt, type "dir d:"
(without the quotes, of course)

You'll either see the contents of the disk or an error message. Advance the
drive letter each time until you find the drive.

If you get all the way to z without finding it, the computer doesn't have a
DOS driver for that drive.

I'm also trying to find the cd-rom drive thru a program on the old computer
called
Amibos Easy Setup Utility version 2.01a

And it shows its there.
