WINDOWS 95 Troubleshooting

■I can read from my CD-R or CD-RW but Easy CD Pro doesn’t recognize the drive, therefore I’m unable to write to the CD?

Please check the revision of Easy CD Pro. Adaptec has fixed problems in their latest revision (2.11C). This is found on their website:

http://www.adaptec.com/support/files/upgrades.html

The file you need is Easy2up.exe, and is found under the section CD recordable software upgrades PC.

■In the Device Manager under SCSI controllers the MiniSCSI 1350 controller is recognized but the CD drive isn’t listed under CD-ROM.

Please check that you are using the very latest installer from Adaptec. Also, check the SCSI ID of the CD ROM, make sure it is not ID 7, 1 or 0.

■Can I use FDISK to prepare my hard disk?

In order to partition a hard disk drive with the FDISK command, Int 13h support has to be enabled. For instructions on how to do this refer to Formatting your hard disk drives in Windows 95 on page 13.

■My EPST connection is running in Nibble mode, what should I do?

At present EPST doesn’t support the parallel mode ECP properly. If you change the port mode to EPP you will find a performance increase.
