If

the

device

drivers

are

not

present,

reinstall

them.

See

the

READ.ME file on

the

IBM

 

Option

Diskette

for

more information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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).
