SUMMARY
=======
Because of physical read limitations of some CD-ROM drives, you may be denied
access to some of the files and folders on the Microsoft Expedia Streets 98
compact disc. This article lists those files and supplies a method to test your
CD-ROM drive.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The CD-ROM drive may have difficulty reading the final folder, listed below,
from the Expedia Streets 98 CD-ROM:
Folder Location On Disc
------ ----------------
Acmsetup\Enu\Msinfo 602-603 MB
To test for specific drive-capacity limitations, try to access the following
files:
Files Location On Disc
----- ----------------
Acmsetup\Automap\System\Shrl11.dll 602-603 MB
Acmsetup\Enu\Acmsetup.exe 578-579 MB
Data\Ussart.its 491-570 MB
The Expedia Streets 98 compact disc contains 603 MB of data. The final file on
the CD-ROM is Acmsetup\Enu\Msinfo\Msinfo32.hlp.
Testing Your CD-ROM Drive
-------------------------
To test the integrity of files that you have copied from your CD-ROM drive to
your hard disk drive, compare the files using the MS-DOS File Compare program
(Fc.exe). You can use this to determine if the CD-ROM subsystem is functioning
properly at the device driver or hardware level(s).
The Fc.exe utility is a useful method for testing problems related to general
protection (GP) faults or other critical errors (such as read errors or out of
memory messages) that may occur when you use CD-ROM drives with Windows
programs.
Attempt to copy one of the following files to the hard disk drive:
Files Location On Disc
----- ----------------
Acmsetup\Automap\System\Shrl11.dll 602-603 MB
Acmsetup\Enu\Acmsetup.exe 578-579 MB
Data\Ussart.its 491-570 MB
For more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see your Windows
printed documentation or online Help.
If the following error message appears
CDR101: Not Ready
the CD-ROM player cannot read the disc at the specified location.
If the file does copy, test the file's integrity by using Fc.exe with the /B
(binary) switch. For example, to compare the Shrl11.dll file on the CD-ROM to
the version of the Shrl11.dll file that you copied to your hard drive, type the
following at the MS-DOS command prompt, and then press ENTER
" fc /b d:\Acmsetup\Automap\System\Shrl11.dll c:\Shrl11.dll " (without the
quotation marks)
where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and C is the letter of your hard disk
drive.
If you receive errors, the CD-ROM drive is having problems reading the compact
disc at that location.
