---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SUMMARY
=======
 
Because of physical read limitations of some CD-ROM drives, you may be
denied access to some of the files and folders on the Microsoft Automap
Trip Planner compact disc. This article lists those files and supplies a
method to test your CD-ROM drive.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The CD-ROM drive may have difficulty reading the final folder, listed
below, from the Automap Trip Planner CD-ROM:
 
   Folder                          Location On Disc
   ------                          ----------------
 
   Acmsetup\Automap5\System           583-589 MB
 
To test for specific drive-capacity limitations, try to access the
following files:
 
   Files                              Location On Disc
   -----                              ----------------
 
   Acmsetup\Automap5\System\Mfc40.dll    586-587 MB
   Gps\Pnapi.cab                         576-578 MB
   Data\Usabagg.m20                      429-576 MB
 
The Automap Trip Planner compact disc contains 589 MB of data. The final
file on the CD-ROM is Acmsetup\Automap5\System\Shrl10.dll.
 
Testing Your CD-ROM Drive
-------------------------
 
To test the integrity of files that you have copied from your CD-ROM drive
to your hard drive, compare the files using the MS-DOS File Compare program
(Fc.exe). You can use this test to determine if the CD-ROM subsystem is
functioning properly at the device driver or hardware level(s).
 
The Fc.exe utility is a useful method for testing problems related to
general protection (GP) faults or other critical errors (such as read
errors or out of memory messages) that may occur when you use CD-ROM
drives with Windows programs.
 
Try to copy one of the following files to the hard disk drive:
 
   Files                              Location On Disc
   -----                              ----------------
 
   Acmsetup\Automap5\System\Mfc40.dll    586-587 MB
   Gps\Pnapi.cab                         576-578 MB
   Data\Usabagg.m20                      429-576 MB
 
For more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see your
Windows printed documentation or online Help.
 
If the following error message appears:
 
   CDR101: Not Ready
 
the CD-ROM  player cannot read the disk at the specified location. If
the file does copy, test the file's integrity by using Fc.exe with the
/B (binary) switch. For example, to compare the mfc40.dll file on your
CD-ROM to the version of Mfc40.dll file you copied to your hard drive,
type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER:
 
   fc  /b  d:\acmsetup\automap5\system\mfc40.dll c:\mfc40.dll
 
where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and C is the letter of your
hard drive.
 
If you receive errors, the CD-ROM drive is having problems reading the
compact disc at that location.
