<LG CD-ROM DRIVE Installation Manual>
============================CONTENT===========================================
1. DOS & Win 3.xx 2. Win 95
3. Windows NT 4. Solaris
5. OS/2 6. Linux
==============================================================================
1. Installation under the DOS & Win 3.xx
1) Turn off your PC and connect the CD-ROM DRIVE to the PC.
1.1 Adding the CD-ROM drive to a configuration with one IDE Hard Disk
Set LG CD-ROM drive to SL(Slave mode) by setting a jumper
on the middle side. The Hard Disk is set to IDE Master mode.
1.2 CD-ROM only connection to IDE card or Secondary IDE Port on
the PC Motherboard.
Set the CD-ROM drive to MA (Master mode).
(refer to the Owner's manual)
2) Turn the PC on.
3) Insert INSTALL DISK to the 3.5-inch driver.
4) Type 'install' on the 3.5-INCH DRIVER.
5) Check the directory to install. (DEFUALT C:\CDROM)
6) After completion of the installation, hit Enter.
7) Reboot the PC.
8) If the device driver installs successfully but the CD-ROM DRIVE
can't be accessed, you check the following
in CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT.
CONFIG.SYS FILE:
LASTDRIVE=Z
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\GSCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000
AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE:
C:\CDROM\MSCDEX /D:MSCD000
9) If the CD-ROM DRIVE can't be accessed continuously in MS-DOS or PC-DOS,
recheck the connection of P.C and CD-ROM.
10) If the CD-ROM DRIVE can't be accessed continuously in Win3.xx,
recheck the following:
10-1) The 32BITDISKACCESS and VIRTUALHDIRQ parameter in the
Windows SYSTEM.INI file should be set to OFF.
10-2) HOW TO MODIFY SYSTEM.INI:
Using edit.exe, users can edit the SYSTEM.INI file in
the Windows directory :
SYSTEM.INI FILE :
[386ENH]
VIRTUALHDIRQ=OFF
32bitDiskAccess=OFF
(refer to the Owner's manual )
=============================================================================
2. Installation under the Win 95
1) Turn off your PC and Connect CD-ROM DRIVE to the PC.
1.1 Adding the CD-ROM drive to a configuration with one IDE Hard Disk
Set LG CD-ROM drive to SL (Slave mode) by setting a jumper
on the middle side. The Hard Disk is set to IDE Master mode.
1.2 CD-ROM only connection to IDE card or Secondary IDE Port on
the PC Motherboard.
Set CD-ROM drive to MA (Master mode).
(refer to INSTALLATION UNDER DOS AND WIN3.XX)
2) Turn the PC on.
3) Under WIN 95, the LG CD-ROM DRIVE is automatically found
by the PnP FUNCTION because LG CD-ROM DRIVE works on
Win95's DIVEICE DRIVER under WIN95,
4) If you want to use under the COMMAND PROMPT MODE of WIN95,
the LG CD-ROM DRIVE should be installed from the INSTALL DISK.
=> Insert the install disk into the floppy drive and type 'INSTALL'.
=> (refer to the Owner's manual )
9) If the CD-ROM DRIVE can't use the auto-play fuction
for Win95 CD or an audio CD, check the following:
9-1) If LG CD-ROM DRIVE isn't listed in device manager, but the
LG CD-ROM works on DOS device driver or system was infected
by some virus.
First check the virus.
Second remove "c:\cdrom\mscdex /d:mscd000" in autoexec.bat.
