SUMMARY
=======
 
Because of physical read limitations of some CD-ROM drives, some files
and folders on the Wine Guide version 1.0 for the Macintosh compact
disc may be inaccessible from your CD-ROM drive. This article lists those
files and tells how to test your drive.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The CD-ROM drive may have difficulty reading the files located on the
compact disc. The files are:
 
   Files                           Location on Disc
   -----                           ----------------

   NOTE: The MS Wine Guide CD-ROM contains 601 MB of data. The
   final file on the CD-ROM is the Microsoft Multimedia Catalog.
 
Testing Your CD-ROM Drive
-------------------------
 
The CD-ROM drive may have difficulty reading files located on the
outer portion, or track, of the compact disc. To test for specific drive-
capacity limitations, do the following:
 
1. Insert the MS Wine Guide compact disc into the CD-ROM drive.
 
2. Open the MS Wine Guide disc.
 
3. Drag the following file to your hard drive icon.
 
      Microsoft Multimedia Catalog
 
4. Open the MSWMTIME Folder.
 
5. Open the tt Folder.
 
6. Drag the following files to your hard drive icon.
 
      Syrah_L.cp
      Shiraz_L.CP
      Port_S.cp
      NBlanc_S.cp
 
If the following error message appears while you copy any file, then your
CD-ROM drive cannot read the disc at the specified location:
 
   The file <file name> couldn't be read, because a disk error occurred.
   Do you  want to continue copying?
 
where <file name> is the name of the file you are copying.
 
If the file does copy, compare its size with the file on the disc. To
compare file size information, do the following:
 
1. Locate the file on the disc.
 
2. Click the file one time.
 
3. On the File Menu, click Get Info.
 
4. On the line displaying the Size, make note of the number of bytes
   used.
 
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with the file that was copied to the hard drive.
 
The files should use an identical number of bytes. If the number of bytes
is different, that means the CD-ROM drive is having problems reading the
disc.
 
For additional information, contact your CD-ROM drive manufacturer.
