At the command prompt, type the letter of your cd, press enter.

Example: _ C= CD drive

_ dir/P or dir/W will give you directories on the cd one page at a time. Press spacebar to continue exploring directories. You should be looking for .exe .bat or .com directories to boot the cd.

Hope this helps.

And if you use something like DosBox, you will first have to mount the drive to a letter like:

Code: Select all

mount     E:\             D:

keyword hostdrive localdrive

If you need more info, could you be a little more specific with what you are trying to accomplish?

Best regards,
