If there’s a problem with your CD-ROM drive software
Your built-in CD-ROM drive requires special software, which is already
installed on your hard disk. If you experience occasional problems using your
CD-ROM drive, try reinstalling the server’s multimedia software, which
includes CD-ROM and QuickTime software.
IMPORTANT
If you cannot use your server’s CD-ROM drive, use a set of
system software floppy disks to restart your system and reinstall the CD-ROM
drive software. See “Starting Up From the Floppy Drive” earlier in this
chapter. (If necessary, you can use the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM
disc on another computer system to create a set of startup floppy disks.)
Follow these steps to use the Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc to
reinstall CD-ROM drive software on your server’s startup disk:
1
Place the disc in the CD-ROM drive’s tray with the label facing up, and close the tray.
The Workgroup Server Software CD-ROM disc’s window opens automatically.
2
Open the System Installer program located in the System Software Installers folder.
If you haven’t already done so, check the Read Me file in that folder for any
specific instructions on using the Installer programs available.
3
In the Installer Welcome dialog box that appears, click Continue.
4
Check that the destination disk named in the dialog box is the server’s startup disk.
If not, click the Switch Disk button until the correct disk name appears.
5
Choose Custom Install from the pop-up menu.
6
Click to select the Multimedia Software checkbox and then click Install.
The Multimedia Software option provides the CD-ROM drive software and
QuickTime software—it’s recommended that you reinstall both when updating
your system.
7
When you see a message reporting that installation was successful, click Restart.
Your CD-ROM drive should now operate normally. (If a message reports that
installation was not successful, follow the instructions on the screen to try
installing again.)
