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

Wipe the disc with a non-abrasive CD cleaning cloth and reinsert.
It if still will not work try another disc in the drive.
The drive access indicator
on the Status Indicator
Panel blinks at regular inter-
vals with no disc in the tray
or the drive is not installed.
The Windows auto
insertion function is
active and is checking to
see if a disc is ready to
run.
This is normal. However, you may disable this feature.

ing system. When the operating system is booted from a CD, drive
designations are automatically adjusted.
