SUMMARY
=======
 
Because of physical read limitations, some CD-ROM drives may not be able
to access some files and folders on the Encarta compact disc. This article
lists the location of some of those files and folders, and discusses a
method to test your CD-ROM drive.
 
The following are the final three folders on the Encarta 1997
Standard compact disc. These folders are the outermost tracks on the disc.
 
   d:\mmcat\wavs                         644-646 MB
   d:\mmcat\                             642-644 MB
   d:\encyc97\mm\midi                    638-641 MB
 
To test for specific drive-capacity limitations, try to access the
following files located in the outermost megabytes of the Encarta compact
disc:
 
   d:\encyc97\mm\midi\t049130a.mid       640 MB
   d:\encyc97\mm\avi\t027278a.avi        620 MB
   d:\encyc96\mm\t047867a.wav            601 MB
   d:\encyc96\mm\to12589a.avi            580 MB
 
The Encarta compact disc contains 646 MB of data. The final file on the
CD-ROM is d:\mmcat\wavs\wof.wav.
