If the SMARTDRV statement is found in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file,

the parameter

is added to the statement, if not already

present. This parameter disables the SMARTDRV CD-ROM

caching.

NOTE If your AUTOEXEC.BAT file includes the WIN

command (to start

Windows automatically), you must edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to

place

WIN after the MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0HP /M:12 line. This

modification will allow the

MSCDEX command to be launched before

Windows starts.

If the CD-ROM drive is connected to the same cable as the hard

disk drive (that is, it is connected as a slave on the primary IDE

channel), the following two lines are added or modified in the

SYSTEM.INI file:

VirtualHDIRQ=Off

32BitDiskAccess=Off

The original CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and SYSTEM.INI files

are saved under the new names CONFIG.ORG, AUTOEXEC.ORG,

and SYSTEM.ORG.

5 If you don’t want to modify these files, type

N and press .

The installation program makes copies of the system files, adds the

lines described above (in step 4), and saves the new files as

CONFIG.NEW, AUTOEXEC.NEW, and SYSTEM.NEW.

6 When the procedure is complete, remove the floppy disk and restart

your PC.

On start-up, the system reads the new system files and installs the

CD-ROM driver.
