Installing CD-ROM drivers in MS-DOS

MS-DOS was a popular platform for PC games in the 80s and early 90s, but it takes a fair bit of knowledge to properly configure an MS-DOS installation for such a purpose. CD-ROM support was a key feature needed for most games at the times, as a considerable number of those games were shipped on that form. This video serves as a concise guide to enabling CD-ROM support on MS-DOS to further expand its capabilities and entertainment potential.

These days i am on an Android tablet with a DosBox app installed from google play to create tiny x86 executable files with a little help from debug(download/unzip into the mounted folder). And i use batch files as a container for my open source project. I made some videos(no speech) to show how it works and to share all batch files. Have fun.😊

MS DOS 6.22 does have an extras disc available that has DOS Shell on it. I use to have a copy and might still do if my father hasn’t cleaned up old 3.5” discs at the family home.
IIRC DOS Shell is a cutdown version of MS Windows 1, maybe Windows 2.

[@PotatoeV96]

MS-DOS 5.0 added a Shell so you can run Programs without typing the Name

[@notanetcher]

completely installed!!

I used teac cdrom-driver and y and z letter for cdrom, because i had a lot of logical hdd partition.

One day i want to make a floppy boot disk, but there was not enough space for all drivers and so i made 2 floppy boot disk to split the boot process with 2 almost identical autoexec.bat and a pause command to change the floppy disk and on the second autoexec.bat it loads the other driver.

I'm having trouble installing Windows NT 4.0, would you like to do a video on it?
You don't have to if you don't want to, just know that your videos have been very helpful.

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

Okay apparently I don't need help now.
For some stupid reason the setup desks I created were bootable but at the same time wasn't bootable, it was kind of weird

[@86Box]

An NT 4.0 video will be made eventually, but please be advised that installation videos like these take a long time to make. If you would like to get quick help, please join our Discord server.

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

​@@86BoxI'm already a part of the discord server and thank you for your response, but I was an idiot and somehow managed to make the setup discs but they wasn't bootable for somebody reason some weird reason.
Managed to find some bootable ones online though.

[@robertr.721]

@@86BoxI’ve been wanting the same, especially regarding the service packs. Everyone has a different opinion about which ones to install and in what order. Very confusing.

[@WindowsSurfaceOfficial]
