The AUTOEXEC.BAT has an incorrect command: `@echo off /testmen off` is wrong. It should be `@echo off` alone. Also, in the `LH mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /L:%CDROM%` line, if `%CDROM%` is not properly set before this, it may cause an issue. The CONFIG.SYS has `device=qcdrom.sys /d:mscd001`, but it's not clear if `qcdrom.sys` is the correct driver for the CD - ROM in the VMware environment. Maybe the CD - ROM driver is not compatible or the setup of the CD - ROM drive in VMware is not configured correctly along with these configuration files.

Change LH mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /L:%CDROM% to LH mscdex.exe /d:mscd001

In addition, the usage of findcd is also incorrect. Change the following sentence:
findcd /s %CDROM%: to: findcd %CDROM% or change it to: findcd /s %CDROM1% |

It has been modified according to Wengier, but it still doesn't work. Is it a problem with my virtual machine? I'm using VMWARE 5.5.19175. I directly using the ISO also doesn't work. Loading the CD drive is fine, but when running GHOST from the CD, it's "bad command"..... Also, the drive letter isn't that of the CD drive.

Have you made the changes according to what JonePeng said? Because there are multiple errors in the code you wrote in the top post. You need to strictly make the modifications as required by both me and JonePeng in the 2nd and 3rd floors respectively. Just modifying part of it is not enough.

This is what I modified:
autoexec.bat @ECHO OFF PATH=A:\ LH MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 SMARTDRV FINDCD.EXE /S %CDROM1% GHOST.EXE config.sys DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF DEVICE=QCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001 |

It's not a problem with VMware. I changed another one and it still doesn't work. Come on, brother, help me. I'm confused.

Are you using an external USB CD-ROM?

Oh, of course it's not a USB drive. I'm using a virtual machine
