Windows 95
Windows 95 comes with a generic ATAPI CD-ROM device driver that
works with your computer's CD-ROM. You do not need to install a
new device driver for your CD-ROM. You can enable the generic
device driver by following the instructions below.
Note
If you upgraded to Windows 95 from DOS or Windows 3.x, you
must disable the original DOS/Windows CD-ROM device driver
in order to allow the generic Windows 95 device driver to work
effectively.
To enable the Windows 95 generic ATAPI CD-ROM device driver,
follow these instructions:
1. Go to the MS-DOS command prompt.
2. Open the CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Find the following line:
DEVICE=C:\xxxxxx\IBMTPCD.SYS /D:TPCDðð1.....
where xxxxxx is the subdirectory where you have installed the
CD-ROM device driver. If you cannot find the line, quit the file
and go to step 5.
4. Comment out the line, changing it as follows:
REM DEVICE=C:\xxxxxx\IBMTPCD.SYS /D:TPCDðð1.......
If the line is already commented out, quit the file and go to the
next step.
5. Open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
6. Find the following line:
C:\xxxxxx\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCDðð1.....
where xxxxxx is the subdirectory where you have installed the
CD-ROM device driver. If you cannot find the line, quit the file
and go to step 8.
7. Comment out the line, changing it as follows:
REM C:\xxxxxx\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCDðð1......
If the line is already commented out, quit the file and go to the
next step.
8. Exit the MS-DOS command prompt; then restart your system.
You have now completed the modifications required for the CD-ROM
device driver.

Windows NT
Windows NT comes with a generic ATAPI CD-ROM device driver
that works with your computer's CD-ROM. The generic Windows NT
CD-ROM device driver is automatically installed during Windows NT
setup.
When you install this CD-ROM device after Windows NT is already
installed, add an ATAPI CD-ROM device driver according to the
following instructions:
If you are installing under Microsoft Windows NT 4.0:
1. Boot the system and log on with an administrator account.

menu appears.
4. Select Standard mass storage controllers as the
manufacturer, select IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI
1.2)/Dual-channel PCI IDE Controller as the SCSI adapter,
and click on OK.
5. Windows NT prompts you to restart your system. Click on
Yes.
If you are installing under Microsoft Windows NT 3.51:
1. Boot the system and log on with an administrator account.

Part 2. Installation Instructions 2-5

DOS
To install the CD-ROM device driver for DOS and DOS/V or later:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. Locate the CD-ROM device driver diskette that was shipped with
your computer. Insert it into the diskette drive.
3. Type A:UINSTALL
Then press Enter.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
5. After the installation is complete, remove the diskette from the
diskette drive and restart your system.
You have now completed the installation of the CD-ROM device
driver for DOS.
Software Parameters in the CONFIG.SYS File
When the CD-ROM device driver is installed in your computer,
UINSTALL automatically modifies the CONFIG.SYS file. The
following are the parameters for the CD-ROM device driver:
 DEVICE=[drive:][path]IBMTPCD.SYS [/C]
IBMTPCD.SYS is the CD-ROM device driver. Make sure this
line is inserted after the EMM386 statement.
[/C] Sets the cache size in the XMS memory. When this
parameter is set, the cache size in the XMS memory is
512 sectors. When it is not set, the default is 0.
Note: Do not specify the [/R] parameter for this option.
 [drive:][path]MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCDðð1
[/M:n][/E][/V][/L:x]
The Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions program (MSCDEX.EXE),
for MS-DOS Version 3.11 or later, works with the
IBMTPCD.SYS device driver to allow your computer to access
the CD-ROM drive, where options can be:
/D Specifies the name of the CD-ROM drive, TPCD001.
[/M:n]Specifies the number of sector buffers to store the most
recent disc data temporarily. The default is n=4.
[/E] Specifies that the computer will use expanded memory,
if available.
2-6

[/V] Displays on the computer screen a summary of RAM
allocation and expanded memory usage at power-on.
[/L:x]Specifies the drive letter (represented here by x) for the
CD-ROM drive. Do not assign a drive letter already
used by another drive; otherwise, the computer cannot
access the CD-ROM drive.
Software Parameters in the AUTOEXEC.BAT File
The following describes about the SMARTDRV parameter in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
 SMARTDRV
If you are using DOS SMARTDRV caches and are planning to
use a photo CD or multiple session discs, add the /U parameter
to the SMARTDRV line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This is
because photo CDs or multiple session discs are not compatible
with the SMARTDRV caches.
If you are planning to play CD-i movies, do not cache the
CD-ROM drive with SMARTDRV Version 5.0 or 5.1, which is
supplied with PC DOS Version 7.0.
