Aptiva - 2163/2164 Considerations - CD-R and CD-RW discs not being recognized

Applicable to: World-Wide

Description:
Certain CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recognized.

Models affected:
2163 and 2164

How to duplicate:
Load and try to access certain CD-R or CD-RW.

Root cause:
The VIDE-CDD.SYS driver has a bug in the "Device Status" command, MSCDEX command code 3 ("IOCTL Input", control block code 6 "Device Status"), which causes it to not recognize certain CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Workaround:
Make the qualified IBMIDECD.SYS device driver available via Update Connector.
