How do I load a driver from DOS?

You're trying to load a cdrom driver from a win98 boot disk? If that's
the case, I would use one of the prepacked boot disks I referenced
earlier. It will actually try a number of drivers to match your drive.

It is just not working for some reason. I also tried the other one you gave
ne. Still the same old thing.

Maybe you can get another drive long enough to make the install?

How do I load a driver from DOS?

By entries in config.sys and autoexec.bat. For example, here is my
config.sys under W98. The last line is the driver:

lastdrive=z
dos=high,umb
SHELL=C:\4DOS\602\4DOS.COM C:\4DOS\602\ /P
device=c:\sbcdr\drv\sbcd.sys /D:MSCD001 /P:220

And this is the line in autoexec.bat that makes it available under
DOS 7. MSCDEX accesses files, while the driver accesses the disk.

LH c:\windows\command\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /V /M:15

How do I load a driver from DOS?

DOS device drivers are typically loaded from CONFIG.SYS. The line
would look something like this:

DEVICE=[drive letter:][device filepath\][device filename] [options]

The device filename will usually end in .SYS

options may or may not be preceded by a slash or dash character....

Example:

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.SYS NOEMS
