Parameter Details
/D:<drive name> Specifies the name of the top CD-R/RW drive. The <drive name> field
must contain the same information as specified by parameter in your
CONFIG.SYS file (which loads the corresponding CD-R/RW drive).
☛ The MSCDEX command must have at least one /D parameter.
If you add another CD-R/RW device, you must add and specify
a corresponding /D parameter for each new drive.
/E
If the EMS memory mode (Expanded Memory Support) is enabled,
this parameter specifies that the CD-R/RW driver can save sector
buffers using EMS memory.
/K Specifies that MS-DOS can recognize a CD-R/RW volume written
in kanji (Chinese characters). Must be used for all CD-R/RW
volumes written in kanji.
/S Permits the CD-R/RW drive to be shared on the MS-NET or
Windows for Work Groups server.
/V: When MSCDEX.EXE is loaded, this parameter indicates the
memory status.
/L:<drive letter>
Specifies the letter of the top CD-R/RW drive. If more than one
CD-R/RW drive is connected, the system automatically assigns
arbitrary drive names to the additional drives.
/M:<buffer> Specifies the number of sector buffers.
Your CD-R/RW drive is controlled by:
◆
MSCDEX.EXE (a Microsoft extensions program)
