2.VPC 2007 DOS CDROM not fully useable

Hello,

I have a DOS 6.22 installation on VPC 2007. I have manually loaded the
DOS Additions and shared folders is working great but I am having
trouble with the CDROM.

CONFIG.SYS
device=C:\VMADD\cdrom.sys /D:idecd001

AUTOEXEC.BAT
mscdex /D:idecd001 /L:E


The drivers load fine and work fine when I attach the physical hard
drive. However, when I attach an ISO CD image I can browse all the
folders but cannot access anything. I can use DIR and see files and
even use CD to change directories. If I try to access anything it
tells me it does not exist (file not found).

Has anyone run into this before?

Thanks!

3.Getting DOS 6.2 & Win 3.1 to Recognize the CD Drive

How do I get DOS 6.2 & Win 3.1 to recognize the CD drive?  Normally with 
these OS's one would install drivers for the CD drive that load during the 
boot process.  However, even with a readable CD in the drive, and specifying 
the VPC for this installation to use the physical drive, when I reboot the 
VPC, the drive spins up, but when DOS tries to load the driver (MSCDEX.EXE 
/D:MSCD001 /V /M:15), I get an error message that the drive cannot be 
detected. 

Thanks.

4.VM additions in dos VPC - not working

 	Having installed Virt pc on trial, dos 6.22 win3.11 I find the CPU is 100%
and the application hangs, pity as it does what I want in 3.11. Anyway some
threads suggest SP1 or VM additions (is VM additions within SP1?) so I try to
install SP1 - it wont proceed, as the pop up box says as there is another VPC
install cant go ahead, please remove VPC and start again. So I try and then
it says cant install SP1 as there is no VPC on the computer. Where do I go
from here?

Please note I can find DOS drivers for my laptop CD so do I have to add
via host OS.

PS - I am wasting my time and is VPC not really capable of DOS? 

5.VPC 2007 support for Win98se Dos Window

Don't make assumptions about pre-release software.  I recommend that you 
uninstall and reinstall VPC to ensure that all the bits are refreshed.  I 
found a couple of issues on one box by upgrading and not removing first.
