Your config below mentions a bare JEMMEX , for improved amounts of memory you could add one or more of the following settings: * NOEMS (disables EMS almost 100%, and its pageframe entirely) * I=B000-B7FF (use Monochrome area, might work, or not) * I=TEST (test for additional UMBs) * X=TEST (test for additional UMBs) > Problem is, now the ghost process is crashing with a read error from the > DVD, which I know don't contain any errors.

Could you try to invoke UIDE in a very basic way? DEVLOAD UIDE.SYS /D:CDROM1 /N1 /N3 /B That way you have a CD-ROM driver without using HMA ( /H switch), without handling harddisk ( /N1 ), without using extended memory ( /N3 ), without using UMBs ( /H option in DEVLOAD , bit unstable with DMA/VDS and some EMM386 flavors). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
