SUMMARY
When using Windows NT Diagnostics, the Details button of the Drives Information dialog box is grayed out if a removable media drive is selected and there is no media in the drive. Windows NT Diagnostics retrieves drive details from the media itself. Without a formatted disk in a drive, it cannot read any information.

Insert a formatted disk in the drive to view the details of a removable media drive. You may need to choose Drives again for Windows NT Diagnostics to sense the inserted disk. CD-ROM, floppy, floptical and bernoulli drives are all recognized by Windows NT.

For additional information on removable media under Windows NT, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

"REMOVABLE and MEDIA and REQUIREMENTS" Additional query words: prodnt
