Appendix B. Problem solving Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. You might be able to use the information in this section to solve problems yourself, or gather helpful information you can pass on to a service technician. Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your situation. Troubleshooting Your computer or CD-RW drive does not operate correctly or the busy indicator light does not come on. Take the following actions: 1.
v v v v v Remove all discs from drives. Start RecordNow. Select Make a Data Disc. Insert your media when prompted. At the prompt ″The disc you have inserted is not blank, would you like to erase it now?″, select Yes. v After the media erase completes, Select the Cancel button in RecordNow v Exit RecordNow. v Eject the media. 3. If you are using a third party bus-master driver, check with the driver manufacturer to ensure it supports CD-RW drives. You cannot create a multi-session disc.
3. If you can read from a CD-RW disc in the CD-RW drive, but not in another optical drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed on the computer that contains the other optical drive. For more information on the UDF Reader program, see “Using the UDF Reader software for Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows Me” on page 12. 4.
There is no sound from the CD. Take the following actions: 1. Check that you are using an audio CD and not a data CD. 2. Adjust the sound-adapter volume control. See the documentation that comes with your sound adapter and audio-CD player program. 3. Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical outlets for your computer and all attached devices, and remove the computer cover. Check that the audio-signal cable connects the 40X/12X/40X Max CD-RW drive to the sound adapter.
Appendix C. Customizing the device-driver configuration settings Windows XP and Window Me have two device-driver configuration parameters: Auto Insert Notify and DMA. The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start audio CD software as soon as a CD is inserted into the CD-RW drive. The DMA parameter improves computer performance by having the computer DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the computer microprocessor to perform more important tasks.
Enabling DMA for Windows 2000 Professional To change the parameter setting for Windows 2000, do the following: 1. Click Start → Settings → Control Panel. 2. Double-click System. 3. Click the Hardware tab. 4. Click Device Manager. 5. Click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to expand the tree. 6. Click the device that corresponds to the controller where your CD-RW Drive is located (Primary IDE or Secondary IDE). 7. Click the Advanced Settings tab. 8. Click Transfer Mode, and select DMA if it is available. 9.
