SUMMARY
If you are unable to read some of the files or folders on the Kitchen compact disc, you need to test for file transfer integrity. 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 Kitchen compact disc:    Folders                        Location On Disc ---                           Recipies                           218 MB

Testing Your CD-ROM Drive
To ensure the integrity of files that have been copied from your CD-ROM drive to your hard disk drive, compare the files using the MS- DOS File Compare program (FC.EXE). This test can be used 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:    Fisle                          Location On Disc -                             Data\recipe.cmf                    218 MB    Setup.exe                          229 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.
