Solving Problems: Dell OptiPlex 745 User's Guide
No drive letter is assigned —
When Microsoft Windows XP detects the Media Card Reader, the device is automatically
assigned a drive letter as the next logical drive after all other physical drives in the
system. If the next logical drive after the physical drives is mapped to a network drive,
Windows XP does not automatically assign a drive letter to the Media Card Reader.
To manually assign a drive for the Media Card Reader:
1. Right-click My Computer and select Manage.
2. Select the Disk Management option.
3. Right-click the corresponding drive letter in the right pane that needs to be
changed.
4. Select Drive Letter and Paths.
5. From the drop-down list, select the new drive letter assignment for the Media Card
Reader.
6. Click OK to confirm your selection.
NOTE: Each slot in the Media Card Reader is mapped to a drive letter. A Media Card
Reader slot only appears as a mapped drive when a media card is installed in it. If you
attempt to access a drive that is mapped to an empty Media Card Reader slot, you are
prompted to insert media.
FlexBay device is Disabled —
There is a FlexBay disable option in the BIOS setup that appears only when the FlexBay
device is installed. If the FlexBay device is physically installed, but it is not running, check
to see if it is enabled in the BIOS setup.
Memory Problems
NOTE: Your computer might emit a series of beeps (beep code) during start-up if the monitor
cannot display errors or problems. This series of beeps identifies a problem. See
Beep Codes for
more information.
Fill out the Diagnostics Checklist as you complete these checks.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety
instructions located in the Product Information Guide.
