CDR-103
The CD in the CD-ROM drive is not a High Sierra or ISO 9660 format. The
CD-ROM drive does not support this format.
CDR-101
The "not ready reading the drive" situation occurs if you try to access the
CD-ROM drive before the drive is ready. The busy indicator comes on when you
attempt to access the drive after loading a CD into the CD tray. Wait until the
busy indicator is no longer lit before attempting to access the drive.
The connectors on the audio cables provided do not fit the connector on your
sound adapter.
Some sound adapters might require a special cable. See the documentation that comes
with your sound adapter.
You might have to separately purchase an audio cable for the CD-ROM drive. The
audio-out connector on the CD-ROM drive requires a MPC-2 compliant Molex
70066-G connector. (Refer to “Back view of the drive” on page 1-3 to locate the
audio connector.) If you are using an IBM computer or IBM sound adapter, refer to
Appendix C, “Help and service” on page 3-15 for assistance.
Diagnostics
To help you solve CD-ROM drive problems, the 40X-17X Internal IDE CD-ROM
Drive Option Diskette contains a general purpose diagnostic program. You must
successfully load the CD-ROM drive device drivers before starting the diagnostics.
The program can be run only from a real DOS prompt. You cannot run the diagnostic
program in a DOS session under OS/2, or in DOS under Windows or Windows 95.
To start the diagnostic program, go to the DOS prompt and change to drive A. Then
insert the 40X-17X Internal IDE CD-ROM Drive Option Diskette, type CDDIAG and
press Enter.
Additional help
The READ.ME file on the 40X-17X Internal IDE CD-ROM Drive Option Diskette
includes troubleshooting hints. If you follow these instructions and still have a
problem, go to Appendix C, “Help and service” on page 3-15.
