72 - Troubleshooting
LIFEBOOK notebook fails
to recognize DVD/CD-
RW/CD-ROM’s.
(continued)
Wrong drive designator
was used for the disc in
the application.
Verify the drive designator used by the application is the same as
the one used by the operating system. When the operating system
is booted from a DVD/CD, drive designations are automatically
adjusted. Note that the drive designation can be changed with the
Disk Management tool located at Administrative Tools -> Com-
puter Management.
The drive access indicator
on the Status Indicator
Panel blinks at regular inter-
vals with no disc in the tray.
Windows auto insertion
function is active and
checking to see if a disc
is ready to run.
This is normal. However, you may disable this feature.
Hard Drive Problems
You cannot access your
hard drive.
The wrong drive desig-
nator was used by an
application when a
bootable disc was used
to start the notebook.
Verify drive designator used by application is in use by the operat-
ing system. When the operating system is booted from a CD, drive
designations are automatically adjusted.
Security is set so your
OS cannot be started
without a password.
Verify your password and security settings.
Keyboard or Mouse Problems
The built-in keyboard does
not seem to work.
The notebook has gone
into Standby mode.
Push the Power/Suspend/Resume button.
Your application locked
out the keyboard.
Try to use your integrated pointing device to restart your system.
You installed an external
keyboard or mouse, and it
does not seem to work.
Your operating system
software is not set up
with correct software
driver for that device.
Check your device and operating system documentation and acti-
vate the proper driver.
