SYMPTOMS
When you click the Disconnect check box to select it or clear it in CD-ROM properties, nothing may happen.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when you are using an integrated device electronics (IDE) CD-ROM drive. This check box should not be available for IDE CD-ROM drives. The Disconnect check box is designed to be used with small computer system interface (SCSI) devices only.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Disconnect check box to disconnect SCSI devices from the SCSI host adapter as needed, allowing the resources (the SCSI bus) to be used by other devices.

The Disconnect check box does not effect the performance or functionality of the IDE CD-ROM drive.
