Check which error DOS is reporting:
1) Exit Windows
2) From DOS type "DIR D:" (if D: is the CD-ROM drive)
3) DOS will display one of the following errors:
a) "CDR-101: Not Ready Reading Drive D: Abort, Retry, Fail?"
This means that the drive is timing out when trying to read from the table of contents. This can happen on Multisession rewritable discs that have a large number of sessions on them. This also happens when attempting to read an audio disc.
b) "CDR-103: Non-High Sierra or ISO-9660 Compatible..."
This error usually occurs if the CD-ROM is connected via a sound card, and the "JP1" or "IDE JP" jumper that selects either the AT or IDE interface is set incorrectly.
If that jumper is set correctly for the interface being used, then the disc that is in the drive is unreadable; a likely scenario is that the CD is a Macintosh-only disc. |
