SYMPTOMS
If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive and a removable cartridge drive on the same SCSI bus, the drive letters for these devices may change when you restart the computer.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the computer is started without a cartridge in the removable cartridge drive, or if the cartridge is not partitioned.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, restart the computer with a partitioned cartridge in the removable cartridge drive.



MORE INFORMATION
