If Something Goes Wrong

Resolving a hardware conflict

If you are starting the computer from a diskette, the diskette in the 
drive does not have the files necessary to start the computer. 
Replace it with a bootable diskette.

The drive cannot read a diskette.

Try another diskette. If you can access the second diskette, the first 
diskette (not the external USB diskette drive) is probably causing 
the problem. Run ScanDisk on the faulty diskette (for instructions, 
see 

“Disk drive problems” on page 213

).

Microsoft DirectShow
