WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you check the status of your IDE Syquest removable hard disk in Device Manager, you see a red “X” to the left of the drive. Also, the File System line on the Performance tab in System Properties reports that some of your drives are using MS-DOS Compatibility mode.

= CAUSE =

There is currently no protected-mode support for IDE Syquest removable hard disks. The red “X” next to the drive in Device Manager indicates that protected-mode support is not being provided for that device.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Protected-mode support is also not provided for all other devices on the same IDE controller as the Syquest removable hard disk. Because the Syquest drive must use real-mode drivers, access to all other devices on the IDE controller occurs in real mode also.
