If the system has started up normally, you will be able to see the
drive and the SCSI card listed in
Control Panel | System | Device Manager
tab. The
drive will be listed when you double-click on
CDROM
and the SCSI card will be listed
when you double-click on
SCSI controllers
.
When you power up your computer, you can access the machine’s hardware BIOS set-
tings before Windows is loaded. You can set your computer to recognize the SCSI card
and the drive in the BIOS.
Important Note:
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a small program that resides on a ROM chip on the
computer’s motherboard as well as on some expansion cards. It checks the system and its devices (such as
serial ports and hard disk controllers) before loading the operating system (OS).
●
Are you using the correct SCSI driver?
If the SCSI card has not been installed correctly under Windows 95/98, make sure that
you have installed the most recent drivers supplied by the SCSI card manufacturer.
