Ok, how would i do that in DOS? I cannot change from C: to D:. If i copy it from Windows, wont it have Windows as part of the pathway, making it impossible to run from DOS anyways? Im lost here.

Jorhpo-That would be the CD Drive. I tried the first 2 suggestions from MS about hiding windows from DOS, and choosing advanced properties to run it as DOS....both failed and the puter restarted back to Windows. There is a third option, to manually configure your own config. and autoexec.bat files …

In Win the zip drive is D: and the cd drive is E:. I think that when ive installed the 1500 level Duke Nukem add-on i had to go into DOS to install a copy of Duke for that add-on to work. I noticed that the drive changed from E in windows to D in DOS.

Under a Windows shell running, its E: and if its in DOS i think its D:. If its my sound card messing things up, would it crash before i even get to install or setup sound?
