	CREATIVE IDE CD-ROM INSTALLATION LATEST INFORMATION
	========================================================

This file contains information not available during the printing of
the manual.  Please read it's contents before you proceed with any
installation procedure.

This file contains the following sections :

1. RUNNING THE INSTALLATION PROGRAM

   The installation program allows you to set up your CD-ROM drive in 
   Windows 3.1/DOS or Windows 95.

   To set up your drive in Windows 3.1/DOS, run INSTALL.EXE at the 
   DOS prompt.
   To set up your drive in Windows 95, run SETUP.EXE in Windows 95.

2. POWERSAVE UTILITY

   Please note that the powersave utility (PWRSAVE.EXE) is only for the
   hex-speed drive CD 620E. This utility is to be used only under DOS/
   Windows 3.1. 

3. USING CREATIVE IDE CD-ROM DRIVE IN MSDOS MODE

   Note: Read this section only if you are using Windows 95 system.

   When you open a MSDOS mode session in Windows 95, the system will
   close all other active Windows-based or MSDOS-based programs.  
   You can return to Windows 95 by typing exit. There are two ways that
   you can do to open a MSDOS mode session.

   I).  Shutdown the system and choose the Restart the computer in
        MSDOS mode option.
   II). Change your MSDOS prompt properties by checking the MSDOS mode 
        box under the Advanced Program Settings. You can specify whether
        you want to use the current MSDOS configuration, or specify a new 
        MSDOS configuration.

   Under MSDOS mode, you need DOS drivers to be loaded so that you can
   use your CD-ROM drive. The installation program has modified your
   DOSSTART.BAT which is located inside the Windows directory so that
   when you shutdown to MSDOS mode, your CDROM DOS driver will be loaded.

   The following lines are added inside your DOSSTART.BAT.

   C:\<dir>\DOSDRV\CTLOAD C:\<dir>\DOSDRV\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /V /P:1E8,11,3EE
   C:\<win95dir>\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V /M:8 

   Remarks:
	 a. <dir> is the target directory where you installed your software.
	 b. <win95dir> is the Windows directory.

   If you choose to go to MSDOS mode by changing the MSDOS prompt
   properties and choosing a new configuration, you need to add the
   following lines inside the new AUTOEXEC.BAT :

   C:\<dir>\CTPNP
   C:\<dir>\CTLOAD C:\<dir>\DRV\SBIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /V /P:1E8,11,3EE
   C:\<win95dir>\COMMAND\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /V /M:8 

   Note: If the filename of your target directory is too long, you would 
   need to shorten the filename.  E.g., If your target directory is 
   "Program Files", then you need to refer it as PROGRA~1. This is because
   MSDOS has a restriction on the length of the filename and directory name.
