You cannot read from the CD after successfully writing to it.
Take the following actions:
1. If you can read the CD in another CD player or you can see previous sessions,
the directory information might be damaged on the volume, making it unreadable.
Check the Adaptec software online user’s guide for more troubleshooting ideas.
2. You might have a damaged CD-R or CD-RW disc. Try a new CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc, or another brand of disc.
3. If you can read from a CD-RW disc in the CD-RW drive, but not in another MR
drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed on the computer which
contains the other MR drive. For more information on installing the UDF Reader
program, go to “Step 11. Installing the Easy CD Creator/DirectCD software” on
page 1-9.
4. Verify that you are not attempting to write the disc under extreme environmental
conditions such as the following:
low temperature: 5°C(41°F) or below
high temperature: 45°C(113°F) or above
excessive shock:
>0.5 G
excessive vibration:
>0.1 G
You cannot access the CD-RW drive, or the drive icon does not display (Windows
98 or 95).
If the CD-RW drive has been properly installed, there will be an icon for the drive in
the My Computer window. If you double-click the My Computer icon and there is no
drive icon present in the displayed window, make sure that the drive has been properly
installed, and that the configuration jumper has been correctly set. For more
information, see “Step 4. Setting the configuration jumper” on page 1-6. Next, restart
your system. If a drive icon is still not found, continue with the following steps.
1. Click Start, and select Settings. The Settings window will open.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Click System.
4. Click the Device Manager tab.
5. Double-click View Devices by Type.
a. Click Hard Disk Controllers on the Device Manager list. Make sure that
there are no conflicts with the controller. Be sure that the device status
indicates that the controller is working properly.
b. Select CD-RW from the Device Manager list. Verify that there is a CD-RW
device and that no conflicts exist. The device status will indicate that the
device is working properly.
6. Click OK.
