Neverhood: Testing CD-ROM for File Access (160922)
The information in this article applies to:
- DreamWorks Interactive, The Neverhood 1.0
This article was previously published under Q160922 SUMMARY
Because of the physical read limitations of some CD-ROM drives, you may
not be able to access some files and folders on The Neverhood 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 three folders,
listed below, from The Neverhood compact disk:
Folders Location On Disc
------- ----------------
Bin 615-619 MB
Setup 619-621 MB
Data 390-609 MB
To test for specific drive-capacity limitations, try to access the
files listed below:
Files Location On Disk
----- ----------------
3dlabs\Display.inf 609 MB
Setup.exe 621 MB
Testing Your CD-ROM Drive
To ensure the integrity of files that you have copied from your
CD-ROM drive to your hard disk 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 while running a
CD-ROM application with Windows.
Attempt to copy one of the following files to your hard disk drive:
Files Location On Disc
----- ----------------
3dlabs\Display.inf 609 MB
Setup.exe 621 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 drive cannot read the disc 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 Setup.exe file on your
compact disc to the version of Setup.exe file you copied to your hard
drive, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER,
fc /b d:\Setup.exe c:\Setup.exe
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
disc at that location.
