Workaround: 1. Open the Windows iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog. 2. If the target is safe to remove (in other words, not active), remove the target you want to modify. 3. Use SmartStart's iSCSI Host Configuration wizard to configure the target from SmartStart. 1.3.2 SmartStart fails to mount volume if an empty folder is on CD or DVD media (Issue 79701) SmartStart fails to verify read-only media before formatting and mounting volume when in the Add VV to Windows wizard and an error message will display.
