To resolve this problem, edit your Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files to load the drivers that permit MS-DOS to read your CD/DVD-ROM drive.

Note: These steps assume that your MS-DOS system files are located in the C:\DOS directory. If they are not, replace C:\DOS with the correct path.

1. At a DOS prompt, type:
   edit C:\autoexec.bat
2. Type the following command, and then press the ENTER key:
   lh c:\dos\mscdex.exe /s /d idecd001
3. Press ALT-F, and then press S to save the file.
4. Press ALT-F, press O, and then type the following command:
   c:\config.sys
   ,
5. Press ENTER. The Config.sys file opens.
6. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   device=c:\dos\cdrom.sys /d:idecd001
7. Press ALT-F, and then press S to save the file.
8. Press ALT-F, and then press X to exit the Edit program.
9. Restart the virtual machine.

I changed the commands:

-autoexec.bat is located on c so i wrote:

lh c:\mscdex.exe /s /d idecd001

-config.sys is located on fdos:

device=c:\fdos\cdrom.sys /d:idecd001

and the answer is: file not found.

With the edit command i looked inside of folders on c and i can't find cdrom.sys and mscdex.exe.

What could i do on?

Thank you
