INSTALLATION NOTES FOR THE IBM IDE CD-RW DRIVE ============================================== Table of Contents ================= 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Easy CD Creator / DirectCD Installation 3.0 Windows 95/98 Device Driver Conflicts 4.0 Windows 95 and Intel 82371XX IDE Controllers 5.0 Windows NT and 65XX System 6.0 Microchannel Systems and OS/2 Warp 7.0 OS/2 2.1 Installation 1.0 Introduction ================ This READ.ME file contains tips on how to handle some situations you might encounter during installation or initial use of your CD-RW option software. For problems with the CDSETUP device driver installation utility, consult the CDSETUP.HLP help file on this diskette. Note: The software included in this option kit does not enable the CD-RW drive's recording capabilities with DOS, Windows 3.X, or OS/2 operating systems. Device drivers for these operating systems are included on this diskette to allow you to access the drive's CD-ROM functions only. To enable the drive's recording capabilities, install the Easy CD Creator / DirectCD software for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT from the included CD. 2.0 Easy CD Creator / DirectCD Installation =========================================== Make sure to install both the Easy CD Creator and DirectCD recording software components to allow recording on CD-R and CD-RW discs. If you also have a MultiRead CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive in your computer, you may need to install the UDF Reader component to allow reading UDF-formatted discs in these drives. If you plan to read UDF-formatted discs in another computer containing a MultiRead drive, a UDF Reader must also be installed in that computer. You may be able to download a free UDF Reader program for this purpose from the following Internet web site: http://www.adaptec.com/products/overview/udfreaders.html Note: This web site is controlled by Adaptec Corporation. IBM is not responsible for any content on this site. If you have a problem formatting CD-RW discs after installing the DirectCD software, you might have a down-level IDE CD-ROM Device Driver or Busmaster IDE Controller Device Driver. Problems have been noted with certain levels of the Intel PIIXVSD.VXD and Acer Logic Incorporated (ALI) M5229.MPD drivers. Contact the device driver manufacturer or your computer manufacturer to see if new IDE device drivers are available for your system. 3.0 Windows 95/98 Device Driver Conflicts ========================================== If your system hangs or you cannot access your CD drive after running CDSETUP or manually adding IBMIDECD.SYS to your CONFIG.SYS file, you may have a device driver conflict. Try removing or remarking out the "DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS..." line in CONFIG.SYS and rebooting your system to determine if this solves the problem. If this corrects the problem and you still want to access your drive from real-mode DOS, do the following: 1) Copy IBMIDECD.SYS to the root directory. 2) Right-click on the Windows Desktop 3) Click on "New" and "Shortcut" 4) For the command line parameter, type "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND" 5) Click ("Next" and) "Finish". Windows 95/98 will create a new "MS-DOS Prompt" icon for you. 6) Right-click on the new icon 7) Click "Properties", "Program", and "Advanced" 8) Select "MS-DOS Mode" 9) Select "Specify a new MS-DOS Configuration" 10) Type "DEVICE=C:\IBMIDECD.SYS /D:IBMCD100 /I:1" in the CONFIG.SYS section. 11) Type "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:IBMCD100" in the AUTOEXEC.BAT section. 12) Click on "OK" and "OK". When you double-click on the icon created by the above procedure, your computer will reboot to MS-DOS and you will be able to access your CD drive from a real-mode DOS session. 4.0 Windows 95 and Intel 82371XX IDE Controllers ================================================ Some versions of Windows 95 will not recognize the CD-ROM drive when connected to the secondary port of an Intel 82371SB or Intel 82371AB IDE Controller. To determine if your system has this problem, look at the Windows 95 Device Manager: Right-button click on "My Computer" Click on Device Manager Double-click on Hard Disk Controllers If you see the following, your system may have this problem: Hard Disk Controllers -Primary IDE Controller (single FIFO) -Standard Dual PCI IDE Controller -Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller You can solve this problem by configuring your IDE CD-ROM drive as a Slave on the Primary IDE port. If this is not possible or desirable, you may be able to download corrective software from the following Internet web site: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/IDEINFUP.HTM Note: This web site is controlled by Intel Corporation. IBM is not responsible for any content on this site. 5.0 Windows NT and 65XX Models ============================== On some IBM 65XX models with Windows NT 4.0 preloaded, the IDE CD-ROM drive may not be accessible after installing the drive and booting the system. The error may be seen in IBM PC models preloaded with Windows NT 4.0 but not preinstalled with an IDE CD-ROM drive. The error is only seen when the CD-ROM drive is installed after the first boot of the operating system. The following, or similar error message is displayed after clicking on the CD-ROM icon: "Drive D:\ is inaccessible. The parameter is incorrect." The error does not occur with retail versions of Windows NT 4.0 or if the first boot process is completed with the IDE CD-ROM drive attached. This condition can be corrected by either re-installing the operating system with the IDE CD-ROM drive installed, or by editing the Windows NT Registry using the following steps: WARNING: Editing the Windows NT registry directly may result in unpredictable errors or system failure. Backup the system registry before making any changes. 1) Login to the system as a user with "Administrator" rights. 2) Click the "Start" button. 3) Click "Run". 4) Type "REGEDT32" (Ignore quotes) and press OK. 5) Maximize HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine 5a) Double click "SYSTEM" 5b) Double click "CurrentControlSet" 5c) Double click "Enum" 5d) Double click "Root" 5e) Double click "LEGACY_CDFS" 5f) Double click "0000" 6) You should see trees expanded with "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000", and "Control." 7) Single click "Control" to highlight it 8) In the "Security" menu, click "Permissions". 9) With "Everyone" highlighted, click the down arrow on "Type of Access." 10) Click on "Full Control" 11) Click "OK" 12) With the key still highlighted, press the "Delete" key on the keyboard. 13) Click "Yes" to "Do you want to continue the operation" 14) Perform the same "Security" steps for "0000" and "LEGACY_CDFS." 15) The above steps should remove keys "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000", and "Control." 16) Shut down and "Restart the computer" 17) The system should reboot with the CD-ROM drive working correctly. 6.0 MicroChannel Systems and OS/2 Warp ====================================== If you have a MicroChannel computer such as the PS/2 9577i or PC-750 6886 systems and you use the OS/2 Warp operating system, you will need to install special IDE device drivers as follows: 1) Copy IBM2IDE.ADD, IBMIDECD.FLT, OS2CDROM.DMD, and CDFS.IFS to your root directory. 2) Using a text editor, add the following statements to CONFIG.SYS: BASEDEV=IBM2IDE.ADD BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT DEVICE=\OS2CDROM.DMD IFS=\CDFS.IFS In a mixed SCSI/IDE system, the IBM2IDE.ADD statement should come before the DEVICE=OS2SCSI.DMD statement. 3) Delete or REM out the BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD statement in CONFIG.SYS 4) Copy the *.BIO and ABIOS.SYS from your system reference diskette to your OS2\BOOT directory. (If you are using OS/2 2.1, these files should be copied to the OS2 directory.) 5) Shut down and reboot the system. 7.0 OS/2 2.1 Installation ========================= If you use OS/2 2.1 as your operating system, use the following steps to configure your IDE CD-ROM drive. You will need the diskettes that came with your OS/2 operating system. 1) From the OS2 Desktop, select "OS/2 SYSTEM". 2) Select "SYSTEM SETUP". 3) Select "SELECTIVE INSTALL". 4) Select "CD-ROM DEVICE SUPPORT"; then select "OK". 5) Select "OK". 6) Select "OTHER" from the options; then select "OK". 7) At the System Configuration menu select "OK". 8) At the OS/2 Setup and Configuration menu, select "INSTALL". 9) The Source Directory screen is displayed. If your system was not preloaded with OS/2, you may need to insert your installation diskettes into the specified drive at this time. Select "INSTALL" and follow the instructions on the screen. 10) From the OS/2 Setup and Installation screen, select "OK". DO NOT shut down and restart your system at this time. 11) Place your IBM IDE CD-ROM Drive Option/Device Driver Diskette into your diskette drive. 12) From the System Setup screen, select "DEVICE DRIVER INSTALL". 13) At the OS/2 Device Driver Installation screen, verify source and destination and click "INSTALL". 14) At the Select Device Drivers screen you will be given the option: OS/2 2.1 IDE CD-ROM Support for ISA machines Select this option and click "OK. 15) At the OS/2 Device Driver Installation screen, click "EXIT" and follow the instructions on the screen. DO NOT shut down the system at this time. 16) The new version of IBM1S506.ADD was copied to the root directory. The old version still exists in the OS2 directory. We recommend that you rename this file to IBM1S506.OLD. 17) Shut down your system and reboot your machine via Ctrl+Alt+Del to allow the changes to take effect. * Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
