Multiple SCSI Device Setups If you are receiving an error indicating that the controller is not responding and you have more than one device on your SCSI chain, make sure the Enable Disconnection option in your SCSI controller's BIOS setup is set to Yes (On). If this option is off, the Windows miniport driver causes a SCSI bus reset when your hard drive or CD-ROM is idle for more than 10 seconds. The reset causes the backup device's current operation to abort. To set the Enable Disconnect option: 1. Enter your SCSI controller's BIOS. For example, press and hold the CRTL-A keys (for Adaptec controllers) during the computer's boot sequence. 2. Switch ENABLE DISCONNECTION to YES (ON). Sometimes this option displays as Disconnect/ Reconnect. Refer to your hardware manual for more information on this option. 2. SCSI Controller If you experience sluggish performance with your SCSI controller, contact the hardware manufacturer for the latest mini-port driver. Please make sure you have the most recent versions of these drivers installed. 3. Delay After Media Format, Media Initialize, or Canceled Backup A delay of a few seconds to several minutes may result after canceling a format or initialize operation. Delays may also occur after you cancel a backup job. Hard disk activity will occur while information is removed from the catalog. Longer delays occur if the medium contains a large number of files. 4. CD-R Overwrite CD-R media (compact disc recordables) do not support the overwrite option. 5. Disaster Recovery on FAT32 or DBCS Systems If you are running a Disaster Recovery on FAT32 (OSR2 and Win98) or DBCS systems, you can significantly reduce the recovery time, by adding the line "SMARTDRV 4096" to the autoexec.bat. Then reboot your system. hp dvd-writer dvd100i Technical Support Solutions Guide 10/25/01 HP Simple Backup ⇐ ⇒ 100
