SUMMARY
When using Windows NT Diagnostics, the Details button of the Drives
Information dialog box is grayed out if a removable media drive is
selected and there is no media in the drive. Windows NT Diagnostics
retrieves drive details from the media itself. Without a formatted
disk in a drive, it cannot read any information.
Insert a formatted disk in the drive to view the details of a
removable media drive. You may need to choose Drives again for Windows
NT Diagnostics to sense the inserted disk. CD-ROM, floppy, floptical
and bernoulli drives are all recognized by Windows NT.
For additional information on removable media under Windows NT, query
