Trying to do a recovery
Trying to do a recovery. I have 2 disk. When I insert
Dist 1 I click on recovery. It runs thru its process up until a certain point. It says: "CDR101: Not ready reading drive M." Do you want to abort? retry? fail? I've tried them all and abort is all it will do. I can't get past the error message. Thanking you in advance for all your help! Mrs. Alice Grevemberg |

Trying to do a recovery
That message indicates that the CD drive is not being accessed properly.
Perhaps the boot process is not loading the correct DOS drivers for the CD drive. This might be because the boot disk is not configured properly, or perhaps the CD drive is not working properly. Get a utility to create a new boot disk at www.bootdisk.com and use that boot disk to confirm that the DOS drivers for the CD can be loaded by the boot process and that the CD can be accessed. If that boot disk gives you access to the CD (note that the drive letter might be different - that doesn't matter) then that would indicate some problem with the recovery boot disk you are using. You may be able to use the new boot disk to proceed with the recovery, but since each manufacturer creates different procedures for their recovery disks it's difficult to offer precise advice. If the new boot disk doesn't give you access to the CD drive then the best guess would be that the drive is faulty. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (DTS) "Alice Grevemberg" wrote in message ...
