CD-ReWritable drive letter assigned after the MSCDEX message.
If the computer is able to read the CD, a conflict probably
exists between the device drivers loaded in the
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files. You need to
resolve this device conflict. You might have to set some
configuration parameters for your installation; refer to
Appendix C, “Customizing device driver configuration
settings” on page 3-13 for more information.
If you are unable to access the CD, you might have a
hardware problem. If you are unable to read from the CD or
a drive letter is not assigned by MSCDEX, go to the next

connected to the IDE port.)
If the computer is able to read the CD, a conflict probably
exists with one of the devices that was installed on your
computer. You need to resolve this device driver conflict.
Check the configuration jumper settings for the other devices
or refer to your device documentation.
If you are unable to access the CD, you might have a
hardware problem. If the CD-ReWritable drive still does not
read from the data CD, the CD-ReWritable drive might be
defective. Go to Appendix E, “Help and service
information” on page 3-28.
