The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q136972 SYMPTOMS
When you are using real-mode drivers for a NEC CDR-82 CD-ROM drive, you
may receive the following error message when you try to access the CD-ROM
drive from an MS-DOS prompt within Windows 95 if the real-mode drivers are
not loaded into upper memory:
CDR103: CDROM not High Sierra or ISO-9660 format reading from
drive <x>:
If you try to access the CD-ROM drive from Windows Explorer or My
Computer, the drive appears, but you cannot see any files on the drive.
Note that this problem does not occur if you boot your computer to a
command prompt and then access the drive.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, modify the appropriate lines in the
Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files so that the real-mode CD-ROM driver
and Mscdex.exe are loaded into upper memory. For information about how
to do so, consult the CD-ROM drive's documentation, or contact the
manufacturer.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
