SYMPTOMS
========
If you have an Adaptec 1542B SCSI disk, a SCSI CD-ROM drive, and ASPI4DOS.SYS is
loaded when you install MS-DOS, you may receive the following error message:
Hard disk not readable
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs when Setup thinks the CD-ROM drive is the boot drive. This
problem occurs when you have the CD-ROM drive and the SCSI drive set to #0 and
#1, respectively.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- Remove the disk from the CD-ROM drive, restart your computer, and run Setup.
- Remove ASPI4DOS.SYS from the CONFIG.SYS file, restart your computer, run
Setup, put ASPI4DOS.SYS back in the CONFIG.SYS file, and then restart your
computer again.
- Reconfigure the CD-ROM drive so it uses a SCSI ID other than 0 or 1.
