Troubleshooting
If I am running under Windows95, do I need lines for the Adaptec real mode
ASPI drivers and mscdex in my CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files?
Usually, you do not need to use these real mode ASPI drivers, because the new
Windows miniport drivers support most SCSI host adapters and SCSI devices. How-
ever, you need to load the drivers (including mscdex, if you have a CDROM drive)
if any of the following is true:
• You are running in MSDOS mode
• You are using a scanner or another SCSI device with CONFIG.SYS- or
AUTOEXEC.BAT-based drivers, such as HP’s sjiix.sys
• You have an older model SCSI-1 CDROM drive that Windows95 does not
support
• You are using a CD-Recorder drive (however, some newer models of CD-
Recorder drives can use the embedded Windows miniport drivers)
To install the Adaptec EZSCSI DOS drivers, click the Start button and select Re-
start the computer in MS-DOS mode. When the DOS prompt appears, follow the
Quick Start instructions for DOS.
My CDROM drive doesn’t work properly under Windows95.
Some older models of SCSI CDROM drives are not compatible with the embedded
Windows95 CDROM driver. You can add support for the CDROM drive by doing
the following:
1 Click the Start button and select Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode.
2 When the DOS prompt appears, follow the Quick Start instructions for DOS.
3 When you are finished running Adaptec EZSCSI for DOS, find the file named
cdtsd.vxd in the windows\system\iosubsys directory and rename it cdtsd.sav.
My CDROM drive shows up as more than one icon under My Computer.
The mapping between mscdex, which runs in real mode, and the Windows95 CDROM
driver does not match. You can correct this in one of two ways:
• Comment out the line that loads mscdex.exe in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
• Change the /L switch on the line that loads mscdex.exe in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file so it assigns the CDROM drive the next highest logical drive letter after
the hard disk drives.
