4 Computer fails to boot correctly or hangs while booting after the Zip ATAPI drive is installed. Make sure BIOS support for Zip ATAPI drive is disabled in the computer's CMOS setup. Note that this may require turning off autodetection for the Zip ATAPI drive. Refer to the Owner's Manual for the computer if you need instructions on disabling autodetection. If you are unable to disable BIOS support for the Zip drive in the CMOS setup and the computer hangs during boot-up, the computer may have 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 add-on IDE card. 5 Computer will not boot under Windows NT unless a disk is present in the Zip ATAPI drive. This happens if Windows NT has set the Zip ATAPI drive as the location for the system page file. To eliminate the problem under version 4.0, open the Control Panel and double click on the "System" icon. Click the "Performance" tab and change the location of the system page file. Note that you may not be able to use the default hard drive as the location for the system page file if it does not have sufficient space available. (This may be why Windows NT set the Zip drive as the system page file location). 6 Data transfer problems or drive operation is erratic. Make sure the Zip ATAPI drive is electrically grounded. If the drive bay mounting screws do not make contact with a direct metallic path to the Zip drive chassis (for example, if you are using a plastic carrier to mount the drive in a 51/4" bay), then you need to provide a grounding strap. The grounding strap should be a wire from the ground lug on the right side of the drive by the power connector to a solid, metal connection on the computer chassis. 7 Computer locks up when the Zip driver program runs, or fails to recognize the Zip ATAPI drive. These problems may occur if the computer is using as IDE caching controller. IDE caching controllers do not support ATAPI or removable IDE drives and cannot be used with the Zip ATAPI drive.
