To copy a game from your Aztech CD-ROM to your hard drive,
you need to have a basic familiarity with the MS-DOS
operating system. You must be exact in the letters and
spacing of each MS-DOS command.
You may try to do the following:
(1) Exit from the Aztech menu
(2) Make sure your Aztech CD is the drive and wait at
least 10 seconds for the CD to "register"
(3) Log on to your CD-ROM drive (eg. D: [hit the RETURN key])
(4) Make sure you are at the highest level (the "root") of your
CD directory by typing CD(space) \ [RETURN]
(5) Use the directory command with the "pause" option to look
at the directories on the CD. Type DIR(space)/P [RETURN]
(6) Look the the name of the directory that reflects the name of
the game you want to copy. For example, DOOM is in a directory
called DOOM. Note the exact spelling of the directory name.
(7) Log on to your hard drive where you want to copy the game
(eg. C: [RETURN])
(8) Make a directory using the name you noted earlier
(eg. MD C:\DOOM[RETURN])
(9) Change to the newly created directory (eg. CD \DOOM [RETURN])
(10) Copy the files from your CD-ROM drive to your hard disk,
substituting the appropriate drive letters of your machine.
Do not use the brackets.
Type
XCOPY(space)[CD-ROM drive letter]:\[noted directory name]\*.*(space)/S
eg. XCOPY D:\DOOM\*.* /S
(11) The program will indicate it is reading files and then writing
them, listing the files as it goes along. When it is finished,
you are ready to use the game. Every game on an Aztech CD is
in its own directory and includes a file called RUNME.BAT.
Just type in RUNME and the game should begin. Check for a setup,
install or configure file or option (if there is one in the game
or in the directory) to set the right options for your sound and
video. When all else fails, you will have to find someone who has
a basic working knowledge of MS-DOS to help you.
