The computer

does

not recognize the

CD-RW

drive

after

the

device

drivers

are

loaded

(DOS

and

Windows

3.X).

Check

for

incompatibilities

among

the

CD-RW drive device

driver

and

other

device

drivers

or

other

hardware

in

your

computer.

Create a

System

Diskette with minimum

CONFIG.SYS

and

AUTOEXEC.BAT

system

files.

1.

Before

creating

special

CONFIG.SYS

and

AUTOEXEC.BAT

files,

make a

backup

copy

of

these

files

in

a

preferred

directory.

Type

x:copy CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.IBM where

x is the directory drive letter

and

press

Enter.

Type

x:copy AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.IBM where

x is the directory drive

letter

and

press

Enter.

2.Create a System Diskette and copy the device drivers onto it using the following instructions.

a. Insert a blank diskette into the diskette drive.

b.

At

the

DOS

prompt,

type format a: /s

and

press

Enter. The /s

parameter

creates

the

System

Diskette.

Follow

the

instructions

on the

screen.

c.

When

the

format

process

completes,

copy

the

C:\IBMIDECD.SYS

and

C:\MSCDEX

files

from

the

hard

disk

to

the

System

Diskette.

d.

Using

a

text

editor,

create

a

minimum

CONFIG.SYS

system

file

on

the

System

Diskette

to

support

only

a

CD-RW

drive.

The

following

procedure

uses

the

E

text

editor

to

create

the

CONFIG.SYS

file

from

the

A prompt.

1)

Type

e config.sys

and

press

Enter.

2) In the editor, typelastdrive=z and press Enter.

3)	Type	device=a:\ibmidecd.sys /d:ibmcd1ðð and press							Enter.
4)	Save	the	CONFIG.SYS	file	and	exit	from the	editor.
e. Using a		text	editor,	create	a	minimum	AUTOEXEC.BAT	system file	on the

System Diskette to			support	only	a	CD-RW drive. The		following	procedure
uses	the	E text	editor to	create		the	AUTOEXEC.BAT	file from	the A
prompt.
1)	Type	e autoexec.bat		and	press		Enter.

2)Type a:\mscdex /d:ibmcd1ðð /m:1ð and press Enter.

3) Save the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and exit the editor.

3. Turn off the computer and check that the System Diskette is in the diskette drive.

4. Restart the computer (the computer will start up from the System Diskette).
