CD-ROM fails and out of memory message
Hello!
Win98 SE does not seem to read CD-ROMs anymore. It can eject and load CD's but doesn't seem to be able to read anything. Can this be a matter of updating the driver? I use a LITEON LTD 163D DVD/CD-ROM drive. Also, when trying to run Scandisk from Windows, I get a message telling me "out of memory, please close any open program and try again". But no other program is running. Is there a connection here, maybe? Thanks for any help! Regards, Oyvind Lyslo

Win98 SE does not seem to read CD-ROMs anymore. It can eject and load CD's
but doesn't seem to be able to read anything. Can this be a matter of updating the driver? I had this problem on this computer that I resurrected (it was a P-3 thrown in the trash). A guy at the local computer shop said Nomad has interfered with CD drives in the past in his experience. Once I removed that and reloaded Windows I was able to access my CDR and CDRW. If you don't have Nomad, this is obviously not the answer. Have you loaded ANY software just before this happened?

Hello and thanks for helping me!
I've run CHDSK, and although it won't let me run it (Scandisk runs OK), it tells me that the each allocation unit is 16 384 kbytes, and the total of C is 80 MB. I am going to try cleaning the lens on the DVD/CD-ROM, although I am not quite sure how to do it... Oyvind "SFB - KB3MM" skrev i melding ... "Liuselough" wrote in message news Hello!

I've run CHDSK, and although it won't let me run it (Scandisk runs OK), it tells me that the each allocation unit is 16 384 kbytes, and the total of C is 80 MB. This table lists cluster sizes for different size partitions: Partition size Cluster size ------------------------------------- 512 MB to 8,191 MB 4 KB 8,192 MB to 16,383 MB 8 KB 16,384 MB to 32,767 MB 16 KB Larger than 32,768 MB 32 KB So your partition should have 32 K clusters. I am going to try cleaning the lens on the DVD/CD-ROM, although I am not quite sure how to do it... Buy/borrow a CD cleaner disk and use it. Oyvind "SFB - KB3MM" skrev i melding ...
