dbminter Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 This is not really an ImgBurn topic, I suppose, but, I've put it here. If anyone wants to move it to somewhere else it may belong, go ahead. I can no longer access disc contents from a disc booted into MS-DOS. I used to be able to boot from a bootable disc and access contents from it. Now, I get this message: CDR101 Not ready reading drive Z Abort, Retry, Fail? I get this from both my old IMA file and a new one I created using a USB floppy drive, formatting it in Windows 7 to create a rescue disk, adding the necessary files to CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT, and extracting the bootage image from it in ImgBurn. device=a:\vide-cdd.sys /D:mscd001 in CONFIG.SYS and set CDDRIVE=Z LH a:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDDRIVE% in AUTOEXEC.BAT So, what am I doing wrong now?

ianymaty Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm not realy into it but shouldn't %CDDRIVE% actualy be Z in that line? I have one boot.ima that i use sometimes to flash BIOS, I found somwhere on the net. If you want it I can put it somwhere and give you the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 The Set command sets the CDDRIVE part to Z so the command line gets the proper setting. I used it before back when it used to work, so, I don't think it's that. Thanks for the ima, but, I doubt that it will help as I used both my old one that used to work and new one created in Windows 7 and still got the same result.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Maybe vide-cdd.sys doesn't support your controller/drive now. If it doesn't detect/list that it's found a supported drive, obviously everything else will fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 You may be right, but, I don't think there was any kind of output from the sys file that indicated anything other than it loaded. Which I believe was the same behavior I had before when it was working. BUT, I hadn't tested my previously working bootable DVD with this computer I got 2 years ago this May. So, you may be right in that the controller is no longer supported. I would attribute it to the controller because I tried it 3 different drives, 2 SATA and one PATA, and they all return the same error. I believe I had used the PATA drive before in my last computer.
