APPENDIX — Windows 95/98 Installation Guide
than inserting the Windows 95/98 disk. If you do not have this disk (or cannot
find it among all the other disks you have), you can try using the files provid-
ed by Windows 95/98, but we cannot guarantee you will get SCAM support.
Reboot Your Computer
Reboot your machine by selecting Shut Down from the Start Button. In the shut
down dialog box, select Restart the Computer and select Yes. This will reboot
your computer with the new configuration. As your system goes through all its
self checks, you might find it interesting to watch the display and note the SCSI
ID that has been assigned to your CD-ROM drive. Your drive came from the
factory physically set to ID 3. It is possible (especially if you have other SCSI
devices) that once you reboot your computer, the configuration process will
reassign the drive to some other SCSI ID number. If so, you have just seen
visual proof of Plextor’s SCAM capabilities. Get out your favorite or most
useful CD and enjoy.
Troubleshooting
If you followed the previous instructions, you should be up and running
without any problems. If things are not working correctly, there are four likely
problems.
1) You might have overlooked our instructions to use the Plextor
Manager disk to get the necessary driver support for your SCSI
controller. If you used the Windows 95/98 disk or CD, the
configuration process may have copied the wrong (i.e., non-SCAM
capable) driver support. Then, if some other SCSI device attached to
your SCSI controller is physically set to the same ID as your CD-ROM
drive, a conflict will occur. To solve this problem, insert the Plextor
Manager disk or use Windows Explorer or the following DOS
command to copy the correct file to the applicable Windows 95/98
subdirectory:
COPY D:\*.MPD C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS
Reboot again and everything should work fine.
2) The second likely cause is that your motherboard may not have a
Plug and Play capable BIOS and your Plug and Play SCSI controller
is not of the PCI variety. You will need to turn off your computer and
disable the Plug and Play capabilities on your SCSI controller. Review
the controller’s documentation (check the Quick Start Guide or
similar document first) to determine the location of the disable
switch. After disabling, review the Install Hardware portion of the
Non-Plug and Play Installation section of this manual, page 76. Make
sure termination is set properly on your controller and all devices
attached to it. Restart your computer.
