Windows® 95 issues IDE Drivers for Windows 95 The Zip Tools Setup program for Windows 95 installs updated versions of two system files, ESDI_506.PDR and VOLTRACK.VXD, which are needed to correctly support the Zip ATAPI drive under Windows 95. (These files are located in the Windows/ System/Iosubsys directory.) If Windows 95 is reinstalled on the computer, the Tools 95 software package must also be reinstalled. Refer to the Installation Guide section for software installation instructions. This is documented for end-users in the Zip ATAPI User's Guide. BIOS / CMOS Support It is recommended that BIOS support for the Zip ATAPI drive be disabled in the CMOS setup. On some systems with autodetection, it will be necessary to specifically turn off autodetection for the Zip ATAPI drive. Refer to the Owner's Manual for your computer if you need more information. If you are unable to disable BIOS support for the Zip drive in the CMOS setup, you may encounter one of the following problems: • The computer hangs while booting after the Zip ATAPI drive is installed. • The Zip ATAPI drive does not appear on the system. Either of these problems indicates that the computer has an incompatible BIOS that does not correctly understand removable ATAPI drives. You may be able to solve the problem by obtaining an updated BIOS from the computer manufacturer. If an updated BIOS is not available, it may be possible to install the Zip ATAPI drive successfully using an IDE card. ATAPI CD-ROM's There may be a conflict when the Zip ATAPI drive is connected as a master with some ATAPI CD-ROM drives. If this occurs, the Zip drive may appear as a hard drive or may not appear at all on the system. To solve the problem, connect the Zip ATAPI drive as a slave drive on either the primary or secondary IDE channel. Inserting Zip Disks Computer power should be ON before a disk is inserted into the Zip drive. If a Zip disk is inserted while the computer is without power, it may fail to seat properly and will not spin up and acquire correctly. This is documented for end-users in the Zip ATAPI User's Guide. 13

The
Zip
Tools
Setup
program
for
Windows
95
installs
updated
versions
of
two
system
files,
ESDI_506.PDR
and
VOLTRACK.VXD,
which
are
needed
to
correctly
support
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
under
Windows
95.
(These
files
are
located
in
the
Windows/
System/Iosubsys
directory.)
If
Windows
95
is
reinstalled
on
the
computer,
the
Tools
95
software
package
must
also
be
reinstalled.
Refer
to
the
Installation
Guide
section
for
software
installation
instructions.
This

in

BIOS
/
CMOS
Support
It
is
recommended
that
BIOS
support
for
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
be
disabled
in
the
CMOS
setup.
On
some
systems
with
autodetection,
it
will
be
necessary
to
specifically
turn
off
autodetection
for
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive.
Refer
to
the
Owner's
Manual
for
your
computer
if
you
need
more
information.
If
you
are
unable
to
disable
BIOS
support
for
the
Zip
drive
in
the
CMOS
setup,
you
may
encounter
one
of
the
following
problems:
The
computer
hangs
while
booting
after
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
is
installed.
The
Zip
ATAPI
drive
does
not
appear
on
the
system.
Either
of
these
problems
indicates
that
the
computer
has
an
incompatible
BIOS
that
does
not
correctly
understand
removable
ATAPI
drives.
You
may
be
able
to
solve
the
problem
by
obtaining
an
updated
BIOS
from
the
computer
manufacturer.
If
an
updated
BIOS
is
not
available,
it
may
be
possible
to
install
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
successfully
using
an
IDE
card.
ATAPI
CD-ROM's
There
may
be
a
conflict
when
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
is
connected
as
a
master
with
some
ATAPI
CD-ROM
drives.
If
this
occurs,
the
Zip
drive
may
appear
as
a
hard
drive
or
may
not
appear
at
all
on
the
system.
To
solve
the
problem,
connect
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
as
a
slave
drive
on
either
the
primary
or
secondary
IDE
channel.
Inserting
Zip
Disks
Computer
power
should
be
ON
before
a
disk
is
inserted
into
the
Zip
drive.
If
a
Zip
disk
is
inserted
while
the
computer
is
without
power,
it
may
fail
to
seat
properly
and
will
not
spin
up
and
acquire
correctly.
This
is
documented
for
end
-users
in
the
Zip
ATAPI
User's
Guide.
