Zip ATAPI Disk Eject Sometimes a Zip ATAPI disk will not eject because Windows NT locks the disk due to the way it handles disk caching. Eventually, NT will free up the disk for ejecting. This issue is being addressed by Microsoft. In addition to this problem, a Zip disk may not eject for the following reasons: • A disk opened from My Computer or Windows Explorer may not eject until the view window is closed. • A disk will not eject if the Iomega Zip ATAPI driver is not loaded correctly - reinstall the driver following the instructions in the Installation Guide section. Information on these issues is included in the Zip ATAPI User's Guide. 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. Microsoft Disk Copy Utilities Do not run Microsoft DISKCOPY.EXE or the right mouse CopyDisk utility with the Zip ATAPI drive. These utilities were designed for floppy drives and do not handle other removable disk drives correctly. This problem is documented for end-users in the Zip ATAPI User's Guide. Windows NT Page File Relocation If there is not sufficient space available on the default hard drive, Windows NT may set the Zip ATAPI drive as the location for the system page file. If this happens, the computer will not boot unless a disk is present in the Zip ATAPI drive. To eliminate the problem under Windows NT 4.0, use the System Control Panel to change the location of the system page file. 17

Relocation
If
there

the
problem
under
Windows
