Install XP as a multiboot and save DOS files to a USB mem stick. And before you mention it, DOSBOX does not support SATA.ġ:- Connect SATA drive as a ide using adapter.Ģ:- Boot up from A: and clear C: with dos 6.22 FDISK.ģ:- Switch off/wait/switch on and boot from A: drive.Ħ:- Remove IDE connections and connect as SATA. I need to boot to DOS to run an old CDROM game. My email:- have an Intel motherboard D975XBX and a Plextor PX-755SA SATA DVD drive.

Am I SOL for Intel or is there a solution? I would have given up already were it not for the existience of the Gigabyte driver.

I tried DOSBOX but it doesn't appear to support SATA. I also checked the Silicon Image web site and it says 'Operating Systems that are not listed above are not supported'. Plextor doesn't know how but thinks it should be possible. Any idea where I can find a SYS file for mounting the DVD drive in DOS for my Intel mobo? Intel just says they don't support DOS.

I tried a GCDROM.SYS file I got from the Gigabyte site, but it doesn't work, most likely because it is made for a different SATA chipset. Normally you would run OAKCDROM.SYS in the config.sys file and MSCDEX.EXE in the autoexec.bat file. And before you mention it, DOSBOX does not support SATA. I have an Intel motherboard D975XBX and a Plextor PX-755SA SATA DVD drive.
