SYMPTOMS

A CD that contains audio, video, and data-formatted media will launch the CD player when Autorun.inf is run. The CD Player will operate correctly but an attempt to browse the CD-ROM drive using Windows NT Explorer or My Computer, will result in the following error: 

   Drive letter X:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect. Retry or
   Cancel.
-or- 

   Drive letter X:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupt and
   non-readable. Retry or Cancel.
NOTE: X is the drive letter of the CD ROM drive.

CAUSE

The Windows NT CD file system does not support the functionality of dual formats on CD-ROMs.

WORKAROUND

Windows 95 does support this function and using this operating system will allow its usage.

STATUS
