Hello all,
OK, I am following this guide here:

MS DOS Mode Super Easy Guide Tutorial Windows 95 98
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f52bZzWs-u4&t=181s

And have created the shortcut on my Win98SE desktop, but when I run it and choose the menu items with CD-ROM support, I get the following error message:

The Following file is missing of corrupted: C:\DRIVERS\VIDEOCC.SYS
There is an error in your CONFIG.SYS file on line 24

C:\SET BLASTER=A200 I5 D1 H5 P330 E620 T6
Device driver not found: 'OPTICAL'
No Valid CDROM device drivers selected
File not found

And I can't of course see my CD-ROM drive.

I am using AWE64 GOLD, and an internal ATAPI Yamaha 16-10-40 CD-ROM drive.

How can I point to the correct device drive for my ATAPI CD-ROM?

My System Specs:
DELL XPS T750r
PIII-750MHz
Diamond Viper500 RIVA-TNT
512MB 133 SD-RAM
Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold with latest drivers
Internal Yamaha 16-10-40 ATAPI CD-ROM drive (it's working, as I installed all my games and OS by it!)
Win98SE

I suggest you look at your CONFIG.SYS line 24, and try to figure out what is that VIDEOCC.SYS driver (why it's there and why it's missing).

Please post CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT

Did you copy Phil's CONFIG.SYS, irrespective of what drivers you need or have?
Here's a grab from that video:

A better look:

That could explain a lot of it right there.

If you happen to have that file, the name is VIDECDD.SYS, not VIDEOCC.SYS. (VIDECDD.SYS is at Phil's page.)
