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. :cheers:

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,
