An installed FreeDOS can show drive assignment through SHSUCDX /D Also running MEM /C will show you if UIDE.SYS is installed, it's the default CD driver for IDE-connected optical drives. To manually get UIDE going requires typing the following 2 lines (which can be present in AUTOEXEC.BAT startup file) : DEVLOAD UIDE.SYS /D:FDCD0001 SHSUCDX /D:FDCD0001 http://johnson.tmfc.net/dos/driver.html contains newer versions of UIDE and UDVD2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
