SYMPTOMS
A CD that contains audio, video, and data-formatted media will launch the
CD player when Autorun.inf is run. The CD Player will operate correctly but
an attempt to browse the CD-ROM drive using Windows NT Explorer or My
Computer, will result in the following error:
Drive letter X:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect. Retry or
Cancel.
Drive letter X:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupt and
non-readable. Retry or Cancel.
NOTE: X is the drive letter of the CD ROM drive.
CAUSE
The Windows NT CD file system does not support the functionality of dual
formats on CD-ROMs.
WORKAROUND
Windows 95 does support this function and using this operating system
will allow its usage.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0 We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
