If you are having problems with UDVD2 on your system, you may need a different 
driver.

There are several CD/DVD drivers that the CD initialization routine will try 
(when present) before attempting UDVD2. Unfortunately, those drivers are not 
open source and are not included in the release. 

I suggest VIDE-CDD.SYS or OAKCDROM.SYS. Both are fairly easy to to find and 
freely available online (google). 

Just put the SYS file(s) in the %DOSDIR%\BIN directory (ie. FREEDOS\BIN) and 
the CD initialization will see the driver(s) and try it first.
