SUMMARY
The device driver for Corel optical drives may generate the following error message when restarting a system:
To correct this problem, run the PATCH.EXE program supplied with optical drives by Corel Corporation. PATCH.EXE modifies the IO.SYS file to allow the recognition of a sector size greater than 512 bytes.
MORE INFORMATION
According to Corel Technical Support, the PATCH.EXE program executes automatically the first time you install the optical device driver. However, any time you upgrade the MS-DOS version, reformat your hard disk drive, or perform any function that replaces the "patched" IO.SYS file, you must run PATCH.EXE again.
For more information, call Corel Technical Support.
