Possible Cause and Solution
Drive In Check Condition
In some cases, even if you restart the computer by pressing its reset button or the
Control, Alt and Del keys simultaneously, the drive does not respond to an inquiry.
Try turning the power switches on the drive and computer OFF, then ON. This
complete shutdown should fully reset the drive and computer.

Possible Causes and Solutions
Defective caddy
A warped or damaged caddy can cause a CDR 101 error message. Try using another
caddy and see if this eliminates the problem. Also, be sure to use only an ‘‘industry
standard’’ caddy. This is a caddy made of plastic with a metal shutter on its bottom.
If you use another type of caddy (e.g., all plastic, but with no metal shutter on its
bottom ---- just an opening), you may experience problems.
Defective CD-ROM Disc
A fingerprint or other contaminants or deep scratches on the disc’s surface may prevent
the drive from reading data. Read Chapter 11 to learn how to clean CD-ROM discs.
If the problem persists, try setting the AUTO switch OFF. This setting reduces the data
transfer rate to 150 KB/sec, making it possible to read some marginal data. Normally
the transfer rate is 600 KB/sec for the data region of the disc and 150 KB/sec for the
audio region. Always turn the drive OFF before changing the setting of the rear-panel
switches.
