Re: VMware for Debian (installing Windowze...)



    Hi,
    I got a DOS boot disk, with CD-ROM drivers (mscdex). I have a 32x CD-ROM
drive.  But the boot disk, cant find the CD-ROM drive... :(
    I does not use DOS/Windows a long time.
    Does not know how to activate the CDROM.
    mscdex output shows:
    a:\>mscdex
    usage: MSCDEX [/E/K/S/V] [/D:<driver> ... ] [/L:<letter>] [/M:<buffers>]
    Thanks for any info,        Paulo Henrique
