Windows NT® issues ATAPI Driver Issues The Iomega Zip ATAPI driver "IMGATAPI.SYS" must be installed before the Zip ATAPI drive will operate correctly. If the Zip ATAPI driver is not installed, disks will not format correctly in the Zip ATAPI drive. Refer to the Installation Guide section for instructions on installing the driver. Note that if Windows NT is reinstalled, the Zip ATAPI driver must also be reinstalled. This is documented for end-users in the Zip ATAPI User's Guide. In addition to the Iomega Zip ATAPI driver, the Zip ATAPI drive requires an updated SCSI disk class driver (DISK.SYS for Windows NT 4.0; SCSIDISK.SYS for 3.51) which is automatically installed by the Iomega SetupNT program. If the Zip ATAPI drive appears as a floppy drive (b:), it indicates that the new SCSI disk driver has not been installed. Run Setup.exe from the Zip Tools. Refer to the Installation Guide section for instructions. 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 ATAPI 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. 16

ATAPI
Driver
Issues
The
Iomega
Zip
ATAPI
driver
"IMGATAPI.SYS"
must
be
installed
before
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
will
operate
correctly.
If
the
Zip
ATAPI
driver
is
not
installed,
disks
will
not
format
correctly
in
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive.
Refer
to
the
Installation
Guide
section
for
instructions
on
installing
the
driver.
Note
that
if
Windows
NT
is
reinstalled,
the
Zip
ATAPI
driver
must
also
be
reinstalled.
This
is
documented
for
end
-users
in
the
Zip
ATAPI
User's
Guide.
In
addition
to
the
Iomega
Zip
ATAPI
driver,
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
requires
an
updated
SCSI
disk
class
driver
(DISK.SYS
for
Windows
NT
4.0;
SCSIDISK.SYS
for
3.51)
which
is
automatically
installed
by
the
Iomega
SetupNT
program.
If
the
Zip
ATAPI
drive
appears
as
a
fl
oppy
drive
(b:),
it
indicates
that
the
new
SCSI
disk
driver
has
not
been
installed.
Run
Setup.exe
from
the
Zip
Tools.
Refer
to
the
Installation
Guide
section
for
instructions.
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
ATAPI
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.
