7 60 Troubleshootings
7 -1 Troubleshootings For All Operating Systems Question Check Solution ————— The formula used for calculating the capacity for the MO disk packaging is 1KB=1,000 bytes, but on the computer it is calculated at 1KB=1,024 bytes. Also, when you format a disk, some disk space is used to record disk information. For these reasons, the disk capacity displayed after formatting is lower. (For example, the formatted capacity of a 640MB MO disk may be around 600MB.) Q1.
Windows 98 (including Second Edition) Question Q6. I connected the MO, but the icon doesn’t appear in [My Computer]. Check 1. Is the cable connected? Is the MO drive’s power/access light lit? 2. Open [My computer] > [Control Panel] > [System] > [Device Manager] tab. Are [Universal Serial Bus Controller] and [USB MO Storage Class Driver] displayed? 62 Solution 1-1 Check that the USB cable is correctly connected.
Windows 98 (including Second Edition) /Windows Me/ Windows 2000/ Windows XP Question Q7. I can’t use Disk Copy function. Check ————— The Disk Copy function on the shortcut menu cannot be used with MO disks. ————— If the MO disk was formatted in the FAT16 (FAT) file format, there is a limit to the number of files that can be registered in the root directory. (If there are no files with long file names, the maximum number of files is 512.) If this occurs, create a folder and write the files into it.
Windows 2000 Question Check Solution ————— There have been changes in the OS specifications and this kind of problem occurs with the Service Packs 3 or 4. Follow the instructions below. 1. Click the cancel button of the displayed message dialog box. 2. Eject the MO disk. 3. Inset the MO disk into the drive again. You should now be able to use the MO disk normally. Q11.
