SUMMARY
Because of the physical read limitations of some CD-ROM drives, you may not be able to access some files and folders on The Neverhood compact disc. This article lists those files and supplies a method to test your CD-ROM drive.



MORE INFORMATION
The CD-ROM drive may have difficulty reading the final three folders, listed below, from The Neverhood compact disk:    Folders                        Location On Disc ---                             Bin                            615-619 MB      Setup                          619-621 MB      Data                           390-609 MB To test for specific drive-capacity limitations, try to access the files listed below:    Files                          Location On Disk -

3dlabs\Display.inf                609 MB    Setup.exe                          621 MB

Testing Your CD-ROM Drive
To ensure the integrity of files that you have copied from your CD-ROM drive to your hard disk drive, compare the files using the MS- DOS File Compare program (FC.EXE). You can use this test to determine if the CD-ROM subsystem is functioning properly at the device driver or hardware level(s).

The Fc.exe utility is a useful method for testing problems related to general protection (GP) faults or other critical errors (such as read errors or out of memory messages) that may occur while running a CD-ROM application with Windows.

Attempt to copy one of the following files to your hard disk drive:    Files                          Location On Disc -                             3dlabs\Display.inf                 609 MB    Setup.exe                          621 MB For more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or online Help.

If the following error message appears,

CDR101: Not Ready

the CD-ROM drive cannot read the disc at the specified location. If the file does copy, test the file's integrity by using Fc.exe with the /B (binary) switch. For example, to compare the Setup.exe file on your compact disc to the version of Setup.exe file you copied to your hard drive, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER,

fc /b d:\Setup.exe c:\Setup.exe

where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and C is the letter of your hard drive.

If you receive errors, the CD-ROM drive is having problems reading the disc at that location.
