Re: [Freedos-user] Cannot find CD
Hi, I have a 1.0 CD and a 1G, USB, thumb drive that brings up what looks like the same menu as the CD. Both try to load XCDROM and report No CD-ROM to use. Of course the CD had to use the CD drive to get to that point. Any idea what is going on? The CD boots a diskette image with help of the BIOS, but to access the other files on the CD, a DOS CD driver has to find your drive. Suitable drivers: xcdrom for ATAPI, gcdrom or uide or xgcdrom for S-ATA. If you booted from CD, you can also use the BIOS-assisted ELTORITO.SYS driver until the next reboot. After loading xcdrom / gcdrom / xgcdrom / uide, you also have to load SHSUCDX which is the driver for ISO9660 filesystems: Drivers like gcdrom alone only give low-level CD/DVD, no ISO9660. Check http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ for a mirror of XGCDROM and other useful updated free DOS software :-).

What benefit would I see with xgcdrom?

Xgcdrom is xcdrom (ATAPI) and gcdrom (S-ATA) combined into one driver, so you can use both types of CD/DVD drives without having to decide which driver you want to install. So where do I find it xgcdrom?

Re: [Freedos-user] Cannot find CD
Hi! Drivers like gcdrom alone only give low-level CD/DVD, no ISO9660. So apparently the ISO9660 file system is becoming common and older drivers won't work, true? No. SHSUCDX is what does ISO9660 for you. Actually it would be nice to have a version which also does UDF as well :-). ISO9660 and UDF are filesystems, like FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS. The low-level driver (gcdrom or anything) allows DOS to access the sectors on your CD/DVD and tell your drive to start playing audio and similar simple things. Without a low-level driver, SHSUCDX has no access to your CD/DVD drive hardware. Without SHSUCDX, DOS does not know that the sectors on your CD/DVD are part of files. So you do actually need BOTH - one low-level driver and SHSUCDX. Xgcdrom is xcdrom (ATAPI) and gcdrom (S-ATA) combined into one driver, so you can use both types of CD/DVD drives without having to decide which driver you want to install. So where do I find it xgcdrom?

I think using aspi.sys you can use cdrecord with it. Maybe I will test it if I can get FreeDOS to boot on my laptop (1.0 CD kernel fails to boot).
