SoftWindows: CD ROM Problems (3/94)

I'm using SoftWindows on my Power Macintosh and am trying to use a DOS CD-ROM. I can't seem to get it to work, what could be wrong?

Try the following:

1) Launch SoftWindows
2) At the C:\\> prompt, type 'usecd' (don't type the quotes) and hit Enter
3) Insert the CD

If this fails, then remove the file "Foreign File Access" from your Macintosh System folder and restart. Repeat items 1-3 again.
If that continues to fail, then do the following:

1) Put the "Foreign File Access" file back into your System Folder
2) Restart
3) Insert the CD (it should appear on the Desktop. If it does not, then
you may have a bad CD)
4) Under the Setup menu, select "Mac/PC Shared Folders..."
5) Find the CD on the Desktop
6) Select the drive you want the CD mounted to (for example: G:\\ )
7) Click on "Use Macintosh HD" button at the bottom of the dialog
You should now be able to access the files on the CD from SoftWindows.

Note: you can only use one CD-ROM drive under SoftWindows.
