SUMMARY
Windows NT 3.5 includes with an IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2) driver that should
support all compact discs, versions 4x and later, that Creative Labs
currently packages in its multimedia kits. This driver can be set up during
or after NT Setup. The setup and troubleshooting procedures are listed
below.
-Setting Up IDE CD-ROM Support During NT Setup MORE INFORMATIONSetting Up IDE CD-ROM Support During NT Setup:During NT Setup, you will be asked if you want to perform a mass storage device scan. If you press Enter at this time, NT should find the IDE CD-ROM driver during its scan and continue.Another option is to press S to skip the mass storage device scan, then press S again to specify your own SCSI devices, and scroll up through the list to IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2). B. Adding IDE CD-ROM Support to NT After NT Setup:
C. Troubleshooting Creative Labs IDE CD-ROMs in NTCheck to make sure that the IDE address, IRQ, and port match the table below:
Try all the settings above except for Primary, 1F0, 14, which is reserved for boot device. Reinstall the driver and shut down and restart the system each time a configuration change is made. Check the Event Viewer in the Administrative Tools group to see if the driver loaded properly. Use the NT Diagnostics program in the Administrative Tools group to find hardware conflicts. If the CD-ROM drive is the only device on its cable, make sure that it is set to Master. If the CD-ROM drive shares its cable with a hard drive, set the hard drive to Master and the CD-ROM drive to Slave. Disable the Sound Blaster IDE port via jumpers on the Sound Blaster card (refer to the Creative Labs documentation for jumper settings) and try the CD- ROM drive on the existing IDE port.
