is
not
functioning
properly
in
that
mode,
you
might
need

after
the
device
drivers
are
loaded.
Check

device
driver
and
other
device
drivers
or
other
hardware
in
your
computer.
Create
a
system
diskette
with
minimum
CONFIG.SYS
and
AUTOEXEC.BAT
system
files.
1.
Before
creating
special
CONFIG.SYS
and
AUTOEXEC.BAT
files,
make
a
backup
copy
of
these
files
in
a
convenient
directory.
From
a
DOS
prompt,
do
the
following:
a.
Type
copy
CONFIG.SYS
CONFIG.IBM
and
press
Enter.
b.
Type
copy
AUTOEXEC.BAT
AUTOEXEC.IBM
and
press
Enter.
2.
Insert
a
blank,
formatted
diskette
into

the
CONFIG.SYS
and
AUTOEXEC.BAT
files
onto
the
diskette.
4.
Turn
off
the
computer
and
ensure
that
the
system
diskette
(the
diskette
that
you
created)
is
in
the
diskette
drive.
5.
Restart
the
computer
(the
computer
starts
from
the
system
diskette).
6.

read
the
disc
by
typing
dir
x:
,
where
x
is
the
Multi-Burner
Plus
drive
letter
assigned
after
the
MSCDEX
message.
–
If
the
computer
is
able
to
read
the
disc,
a
conflict
probably
exists
among
the
device
drivers
that
are
loaded
by
the
CONFIG.SYS
or
AUTOXEC.BAT
file.
You
need
to
resolve
this
device
conflict.
Refer
to
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
computer
for
more
information
on
resolving
device
conflicts.
–
If
you
are
unable
to
access
the
disc,
you
might
have
a
hardware
problem.
If
you
are
unable
to
read
the
disc
or
a
drive
letter
is
not
assigned
by
MSCDEX,
go
to
the
next
step.
