2. In the My Computer window, double-click Control Panel.
3. In the Control Panel window, double-click System.
4. In the System Properties window, click the Device Manager
tab.

If this procedure does not correct the problem, run the diagnostic
programs (see “Running the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics program”
on page 57). If you need technical assistance, see “Chapter 7. IBM
HelpWare support and services,” on page 59.
A CD does not
work. • Verify that the disc is inserted correctly, with its label up.
• Make sure that the disc you are using is clean. To remove dust
or fingerprints, wipe the CD with a clean, soft cloth from the
center to the outside. Wiping the CD in a circular direction
might cause loss of data.
• Verify that the disc you are using is good and not scratched or
damaged. Try inserting another disc that you know is good. If
you cannot read from a known-good disc, you might have a
problem with your drive. Check that the power-supply cable
and signal cable are securely connected to the drive (see
“Chapter 5. Installing options,” on page 33 for cover removal
instructions).
• Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to verify that
the drive is enabled (see “Chapter 4. Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program,” on page 27).
If these actions do not correct the problem, run the diagnostic
programs (see “Running the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics program”
on page 57). If you need technical assistance, see “Chapter 7. IBM
HelpWare support and services,” on page 59.
