98SE mode
I attempted to install an ADAPTEC 2930 SCSI card and a
second CD-RW drive. After installing the SCSI drive and restarting, I received a blue screen indicating that there was incompatible hardware and that the system would restart in compatibility mode the next time. It apparently did, and does not recognize the CD-ROM or the CD-RW units. I then removed the SCSI card and restarted, but the CD drives still are not recognized. I need to know how to switch back to the 32-(something) mode, or get the system to recognize the CD drives. Any ideas? Thanks, S.B. Flatt

Control panel, system, performance tab: is there any comment about MSDos

Yes, it gives both the "Compatibility Mode paging..."
message and the "Drive 'C' is using..." -----Original Message----- Control panel, system, performance tab: is there any comment about MSDos compatibility mode? -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Steve" wrote in message ...

I think I have located and corrected the problem that may
have caused the jump to compatibility mode. I still don't know how to force the "C" drive out of compatibility mode into a normal operating mode.
