SYMPTOMS
On your computer running Windows NT with a Panasonic LF7304 Optical disk
installed on a SCSI adapter, various error messages can appear. For
example, the drive may not be recognized as having any partitions, may get
CRC errors, or you may receive error messages from Disk Administrator.
CAUSE
This drive has a proprietary format from the manufacturer, which you need
to remove prior to using it with Windows NT.
RESOLUTION
To prepare the drive for operation as a secondary drive on a system that is
running Windows NT already on another drive:
- Boot to MS-DOS and perform a low level format on the Panasonic LF7304
Optical disk drive.
- Boot Windows NT and run Disk Administrator.
The drive appears as "RAW".
- Format the drive with Disk Administrator.
