What 'device name' do you use when you load the CD ? Here's how I load mine after boot-up. --- cdlaod.bat --- @echo off if "%CDROM%"=="ON" goto already LASTDRIVE=R DDL C:\CDROM\LTNIDE.SYS /D:CDROM /DMA C:\CDROM\SHSUCDX.EXE /D:CDROM,Q SET CDROM=ON @echo CD is Loaded goto end :already @echo CD is already Loaded :end __________________ That's why CDROM.IKN is then an 'invalid' filename. This makes it a 'valid filename' again. --- cdunload.bat --- @echo off if "%CDROM%"=="ON" goto load goto notloaded :load C:\CDROM\SHSUCDX /u DDU CDROM SET CDROM="OFF" @echo CD is unloaded goto end :notloaded @echo CD is not Loaded :end ____________________ -- Glenn http://arachne.cz/ http://www.delorie.com/listserv/mime/ http://www.angelfire.com/id/glenndoom/download.htm http://www.thispagecannotbedisplayed.com/
