SYMPTOMS
========
When you insert a PCMCIA disk drive into a PCMCIA slot, your computer beeps,
indicating that the PCMCIA card is recognized, but the disk drive is unavailable
in Windows 95.
CAUSE
=====
A resource conflict may exist if the PCMCIA disk controller is configured to use
I/O ports 170-177 and your computer uses the same ports for some other purpose.
RESOLUTION
==========
Examine the computer settings in Device Manager. If the PCMCIA disk controller
is using ports 170-177, try either of the following methods to resolve the
conflict:
- Reserve I/O ports 170-177, forcing Windows 95 to configure the PCMCIA disk
controller at another I/O address. To do so, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click the System icon.
- On the Device Manager tab, click Properties.
- On the Reserve Resources tab, click the Input/Output (I/O) option button,
and then click Add.
- In the Start Value box, enter 170.
- In the End Value box, enter 177.
- Click OK until you return to Control Panel
- Restart your computer.
Windows 95 will not configure any device to use I/O ports 170-177 if it can
avoid doing so.
- Try disabling any secondary disk controller that uses I/O ports 170-177 in
the computer's CMOS settings.
