It didnt work and the computer started up longer than with only XMGR installed. I will delete the driver but for FreeDOS users heres a quick warning. Some applications may use a different burning driver than the application you reinstalled. If the other CD or DVD burning applications installed on your computer cannot access the drive after Windows refreshes the registry keys, you will need to reinstall those applications before they can access the drive.
The drive is being powered correctly; it opens and closes as it should. BAT files, respectively:. However, a problem has occurred. After installing the driver and restarting the system, one of two things happen 1. Information about the driver is displayed. An unusually large cursor flashes on-screen.
In both cases, the DOS prompt never appears, and the system does not accept commands. Thus, the computer is rendered useless. EXE cannot access the device, as the driver is not loaded.
This leads me to believe that I have the drive and its driver set up correctly. However, that does not help me considering that I am unable to do anything with the computer once the driver loads.
Does anybody know how I would be able to gain access to the MS-DOS prompt and use the computer while the driver is loaded? I think the clue is in the description box. Odds are, the sound card has an IDE port on it. Many, if no most of them do. Usually it can be disabled by a jumper on the sound card. You could temporarily remove the sound card. Or you could connect the cd drive to the sound cards IDE port. Your system dates from the era when there were often issues with slaving two devices on a single IDE port that weren't from the same manufacturer and didn't explicitly support it.
If you still encounter problems, attach to the other IDE port if your motherboard has one, or look on your favorite auction site for an ISA IDE adapter and see if you have better luck with that. I am going to go another direction. If you get a DOS prompt at that point then it is the cdrom. I agree with the pause as the first line in the autoexec.
Maybe not a long term solution, but that could help to determine where the stability issue exists. SYS driver, try changing it. I don't know just what DriverGuide offered you, but there are some drivers that tended to work on almost all drives, and use up far less conventional memory than most other CD drivers. Because conventional memory was often important in DOS, I would be fairly try those drivers in just about any case, even if official manufacturer's drivers weren't causing stability issues.
This may really help you confirm that the config. SYS file. Your sample config. Hardware conflicts can cause symptoms like what you describe: where the second time the computer boots then things don't initialize as desired. That was a common source of problems with computers in that era, and can typically be fixed for free by just figuring out what hardware or possibly driver needs to have settings be changed.
