Loy:

In your AUTOEXEC.BAT file you would add following switch
after your MSCDEX.EXE statement:

        /L:x

where x is the drive letter you wish to assign the CD-ROM.
It has to be a Drive letter after your hard drives.

I recommend that you change LASTDRIVE=Z (and your
CD-ROM drive) to a lesser LETTER, to save RAM.
