INSTALLATION NOTES FOR THE IBM IDE CD-ROM DRIVE Directory ========= 0.0 Introduction 1.0 Windows 95 and Intel 82371xx IDE Controllers 2.0 Windows NT and 65xx System 3.0 Microchannel Systems and OS/2 Warp 4.0 OS/2 2.1 Installation 5.0 Acer Logic Incorporated Busmaster IDE Device Driver 3.10 0.0 Introduction ================ This READ.ME file contains some tips on how to handle certain unique situations. For problems with the CDSETUP device driver installation utility, please refer to the CDSETUP.HLP help file on this diskette. 1.0 Windows 95 and Intel 82371xx IDE Controllers ================================================ Some versions of Windows 95* will not recognize the CD-ROM when connected to the secondary port of an Intel 82371SB or Intel 82371AB IDE Controller. To determine if your system has this problem, take a look at the Windows 95 Device Manager. Right-button click on "My Computer" Click on Device Manager Double-click on Hard Disk Controllers If you see the following, your system may have this problem: Hard Disk Controllers -Primary IDE Controller (single FIFO) -Standard Dual PCI IDE Controller -Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller There are two ways to fix this problem. First, you can configure your IDE CD-ROM as Slave on the Primary IDE port. If this is not possible or desirable, you may download a patch from the following Internet web site: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/IDEINFUP.HTM Note: This web site is controlled by Intel* Corporation. IBM is not responsible for any content on this site. 2.0 NT and 65xx Models ====================== With some IBM 65xx models with Windows NT 4.0 preloaded, the IDE CD-ROM may not be accessible. SYMPTOM: After installing an IDE CDROM and booting the system, the CDROM drive is inaccessible. PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS: The error may be seen in IBM PC models preloaded with WindowsNT 4.0 and NOT preinstalled with an IDE CDROM drive. The error is only seen when the CDROM is installed AFTER the first boot of the operating system. The following, or similar error message is displayed after clicking on the CDROM icon: "Drive D:\ is inaccessible. The parameter is incorrect." The error does not occur with shrinkwrap WindowsNT 4.0, or, if the first boot process is completed WITH the IDE CDROM attached. FIX: The customer can correct the condition by either re-installing the operating system with the IDE CDROM drive installed, or by editing the WindowsNT Registry via the following steps: WARNING: Editing the WindowsNT registry directly may result in unpredictable errors or system failure. Backup the system registry before making any changes. -Login to the system as a user with "Administrator" rights. -Click the "Start" button. -Click "Run". -Type "REGEDT32" (Ignore quotes) and press OK. - Maximize HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine - Double click "SYSTEM" - Double click "CurrentControlSet" - Double click "Enum" - Double click "Root" - Double click "LEGACY_CDFS" - Double click "0000" - You should see trees expanded with "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000", and "Control." - Single click "Control" to highlight it - In the "Security" menu, click "Permissions". - With "Everyone" highlighted, click the down arrow on "Type of Access." - Click on "Full Control" - Click "OK" - With the key still highlighted, press the "Delete" key on the keyboard. - Click "Yes" to "Do you want to continue the operation" - Perform the same "Security" steps for "0000" and "LEGACY_CDFS." - The above steps should remove keys "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000", and "Control." - Shut down and "Restart the computer" - The system should come up with the CD working correctly. 3.0 Microchannel Systems and OS/2 Warp ====================================== If you have a Microchannel computer such as the PS/2 9577i or PC-750 6886 systems, and you use the OS/2 Warp operating system, you will need to install special IDE device drivers. a. Copy IBM2IDE.ADD, IBMIDECD.FLT, OS2CDROM.DMD, and CDFS.IFS to your root directory. b. Using your favorite text editor, add the following statements to CONFIG.SYS: BASEDEV=IBM2IDE.ADD BASEDEV=IBMIDECD.FLT DEVICE=\OS2CDROM.DMD IFS=\CDFS.IFS In a mixed SCSI/IDE system, the IBM2IDE.ADD statement should come before the DEVICE=OS2SCSI.DMD statement. c. Delete or REM out the BASEDEV=IBM2ADSK.ADD statement in CONFIG.SYS d. Copy the *.BIO and ABIOS.SYS from your system reference diskette to your OS2\BOOT directory. (If you are using OS/2 2.1, these files should be copied to the OS2 directory. e. Shut down and reboot the system. 4.0 OS/2 2.1 Installation ========================= If you use OS/2 2.1 as your operating system, use the following steps to configure your IDE CD-ROM. You will need the diskettes that came with your OS/2 operating system. a. From the OS2 Desktop, select "OS/2 SYSTEM". b. Select "SYSTEM SETUP". c. Select "SELECTIVE INSTALL". d. Select "CD-ROM DEVICE SUPPORT"; then select "OK". e. Select "OK". f. Select "OTHER" from the options; then select "OK". g. At the System Configuration menu select "OK". h. At the OS/2 Setup and Configuration menu, select "INSTALL". i. The Source Directory screen is displayed. If your system was not preloaded with OS/2, you may need to insert your installation diskettes into the specified drive at this time. Select "INSTALL" and follow the instructions on the screen. j. From the OS/2 Setup and Installation screen, select "OK". DO NOT shut down and restart your system at this time. k. Place your IBM IDE CD-ROM Drive Option/Device Driver Diskette into your diskette drive. l. From the System Setup screen, select "DEVICE DRIVER INSTALL". m. At the OS/2 Device Driver Installation screen, verify source and destination and click "INSTALL". n. At the Select Device Drivers screen you will be given the option: o OS/2 2.1 IDE CD-ROM Support for ISA machines Select this option and click "OK. o. At the OS/2 Device Driver Installation screen, click "EXIT" and follow the instructions on the screen. DO NOT shut down the system at this time. p. The new version of IBM1S506.ADD was copied to the root directory. The old version still exists in the OS2 directory. We recommend that you rename this file to IBM1S506.OLD. q. Shut down your system and reboot your machine via Ctrl+Alt+Del to allow the changes to take effect. 5.0 Acer Logic Incorporated Busmaster IDE Device Driver version 3.10 ==================================================================== If you have an IBM Aptiva E-series with the Acer Logic Incorporated (ALi) Busmaster IDE Device Driver version 3.10, you must disable Ultra DMA in the BIOS settings. Failure to do so will cause the system to hang. To disable Ultra DMA: - When the system is booting, press F1 when the APTIVA screen is displayed. - Select "Disk Drives" - Select "IDE Secondary Master", or whichever drive is appropriate for your configuration. - Select "DMA Transfer Mode". - Use the arrow keys to change the selection to "Multiword Mode 2". - Press "ESC" three times. - Save changes and exit. *Windows 95 and WindowsNT are trademarks of Microsoft Corporation.
