Hi!
I probably am in the wrong place, but I'll ask anyway. I am trying to load an external CD-ROM using a Win 98 boot disk modified like below. I got this off this site and it is loading fine, however it gets to a drive assignment and gives an ERROR message: Available ID= Not found installable device. It then goes on to load the RAMDrive to virtual drive D:. Can anyone explain in simple terms what this means and a possible solution. Thanks in advance for the help! Phil

Autoexec.bat

@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /D:USBCD001 /M:20@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /D:USBCD001 /M:20

Save, and close that file. Move to your Config.sys file. Modify it to the following settings.


Config.sys
· After “[menu]��? add the following line:

menuitem=USBCD, Start computer with (USB) CD-ROM support.menuitem=USBCD, Start computer with (USB) CD-ROM support.

· Change the “menudefault��? line to this:

menudefault=USBCD,30menudefault=USBCD,30

· Next add this before the “[CD]��? category:
