Changing the Drive and Driver Settings
Your DVD-ROM drive is controlled by:
MSCDEX.EXE (a Microsoft CD-ROM extensions program)
SSCDROM.SYS (the CD/DVD-ROM device driver)
MSCDEX.EXE Parameters
The MSCDEX.EXE parameters are added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Below is the syntax for each
parameter. Information indicated within square brackets [ ] is optional.
<Drv:>\<path>\MSCDEX.EXE [/E/K/S/V] /D:<drive name> [/L:<drive letter>] [/M:<buffer>]
Example : The default set-up procedure adds the following default settings to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
C:\SAMSUNG\MSCDEX.EXE /D:SSCD000
Details for each parameter are listed below.
