4. Open a DOS Command prompt.
In Windows, there is usually one under Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command
Prompt. If you don't see one there, another way to get a dos command prompt is to go Start >
Run > type
CMD
and press ENTER. For those of you familiar with DOS, these steps will be
easy.
5. Change the directory to our “test” folder.
When you open the DOS command prompt, it will likely be open to Documents and Settings.
We need to get it to display "
C:\test>
". The way to do that is by typing "
cd\
" and press
ENTER. You will see
C:\>
That is called your "C" prompt. At the C prompt, type "
cd
test
" or whatever name you used to create your new folder and then press ENTER.
It should now say "
C:\test>
"
6. Run the Cd2Roland ripper program.
Do this by typing the name of the program followed by the drive letter of your PC CD drive.
For example, if your PC CD drive is letter E, then here you would type:
Cd2Roland e
and then press ENTER.
NOTE: For more advanced DOS users, you can specify a different output directory during
the ripping process. So, following this example, if you wanted to have the ripper put the files
in a directory other than "C:\test", you could specify:
Cd2Roland e c:\VSRipper\Files
At this point, you will see a bunch of text start scrolling in your DOS window. Your PC is now
extracting the Roland VS files from the backup CD and placing them in the "test" folder. When it
is done, you will get some kind of "finished" or "completed" message on the screen.
See Creating a Batch File for a way to automate this process.
