I'm doing this from memory but I believe the name you use it specified in
your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT.  The CD's name is set when the TSR/driver
for the CD drive is loaded.  Check for MSCDEX, it'll be there somewhere.
Like mine is CDROM001.  I'm at school so I don't have a sample copy of the
MSCDEX line.
