The line should read:

mscdex.exe /d:mscd000

as opposed to /g:...

The /d argument names the driver that was loaded in config.sys with the
line:

device=<cd_driver>.sys /d:mscd000

Hope that helps,

I am currently running Win95 ver 4.00.950B.  I have a Toshiba 32x CDROM
drive and I am trying to get it to work in an MSDOS session.  In the
autoexec.bat file I have included the following  " mscdex.exe
/g:mscd000"  Now the Drive letter g: is recognized, but I get the
"Abort, Retry, Fail" message now.  I am assuming that I still need a
device entry in the Config.sys file, but haven't been able to ferret out
the right entry.  Can anyone help me with this?
