Hmmm, I get here the following d:\4dos ? dir y: 4DOS: (Sys) Drive not ready--close door "Y:" Note the (Sys), meaning 4DOS only displays a system generated error. Perhaps something else changed? CDROM driver software? Some cd clone programs seem to take control of the cdrom away from windows. Try to reboot. -- Viele Gre, best regards, *Klaus Meinhard* 0736'57" East 5307'52" North Author of the 4XBTM batch collection at http://www.4xbtm.de --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-2 * Origin: Mach2 Systems (1:342/3) .
