May Not Be Able to Open Some Mixed-Format Enhanced CD-ROMs in Windows Explorer

 * }

Q255817

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

-

SUMMARY
Windows Explorer may not be able to read some enhanced CD-ROMs that contain both music tracks and computer data. Attempting to open such a CD-ROM may generate any of the following error messages:


 * Drive letter:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect.
 * Drive letter:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupt and non-readable.

You can play the music tracks on these CD-ROMs using CD Player with no problem.

MORE INFORMATION
CD-ROMs that generate these error messages generally are not created using the Bluebook industry standard. These CD-ROMs can encode data into the music portions of the CD-ROM, which Windows Explorer is unable to interpret. Windows Explorer is not designed to read CD-ROMs that do not adhere to the Bluebook standard.
