IBM PC/IBM IntelliStation M Pro - CD-ROM install tip
Applicable to: World-Wide
ABSTRACT:
CDROM Installation error with Preloaded WINDOWS NT 4.0
SYMPTOM:
After installing an IDE CDROM and booting the system, the CDROM drive is inaccessible.
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
The error may be seen in IBM PC models preloaded with WindowsNT 4.0 and NOT preinstalled with an IDE CDROM drive. The error is only seen when the CDROM is installed AFTER the first boot of the operating system.
The following, or similar, error message is displayed after clicking on the CDROM icon:
"Drive D:\ is inaccessible. The parameter is incorrect."
The error does not occur with shrinkwrap WindowsNT 4.0, or, if the first boot process is completed WITH the IDE CDROM attached.
FIX:
The customer can correct the condition by either re-installing the operating system with the IDE CDROM drive installed, or, by editing the WindowsNT Registry via the following steps:
WARNING:
Editing the WindowsNT registry directly may result in unpredictable errors or system failure. Backup the system registry before making any changes.
1. Login to the system as a user with "Administrator" rights.
2. Click the "Start" button.
3. Click "Run".
4. Type "REGEDT32" (Ignore quotes) and press OK.
5. Maximize HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine.
- Double click "SYSTEM"
- Double click "CurrentControlSet"
- Double click "Enum"
- Double click "Root"
- Double click "LEGACY_CDFS"
- Double click "0000"
6. You should see trees expanded with "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000", and "Control".
7. Single click "Control" to highlight it.
8. In the "Security" menu, click "Permissions".
9. With "Everyone" highlighted, click the down arrow on "Type of Access".
10. Click on "Full Control".
11. Click "OK".
12. With the key still highlighted, press the "Delete" key on the keyboard.
13. Click "Yes" to "Do you want to continue the operation".
14. Perform the same "Security" steps for "0000" and "LEGACY_CDFS".
15. The above steps should remove keys "LEGACY_CDFS", "0000", and "Control".
16. Shut down and "Restart the computer".
The system should come up with the CD working correctly.
