Error: Disk Initialization Error...(creating boot disk) (due to Mitsumi CD ROM).
Error:
Disk Initialization Error. Could not properly initialize the floppy disk that you inserted. Error: Disk sector was not found.
Cause:
This error is known to occur when a Mitsumi CD-ROM is detected during Setup. The Mitsumi CD-ROM detection module interferes with certain floppy disk drives and drive controllers. This may occur with the Promise 2300 EIDE controller.
Solution:
Cold boot the computer, bypass the hardware detection phase of Setup, and use the 'Add New Hardware' Wizard to install the Mitsumi CD-ROM drive.
1) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
2) Select 'Shut down'.
NOTE: DO NOT PRESS CTRL+ALT+DEL.
3) When the 'It is now safe to turn off your computer' message is displayed, turn the computer off and then turn it back on.
4) Run Windows Setup again.
5) When prompted 'Do you want Setup to look for all hardware?' click 'No'. (Choose not to run the Mitsumi CD-ROM detection.)
6) Do the following to set up the CD-ROM drive with the 'Add New Hardware' Wizard:
a) Select the 'Start' menu and select 'Control Panel'. (The 'Control Panel' window appears.)
Select 'Control Panel'
b) Double-click 'Add New Hardware'. (The 'Add New Hardware' Wizard starts.)
c) Click 'Next'.
d) Manually specify the new hardware by selecting the 'No' radio button.
e) Click 'Next'. (A wizard page with a list of hardware types appears.)
f) Double-click 'CD-ROM Controllers'. (A list of available manufacturers and/or models appears.)
g) Select 'Mitsumi' from the 'Manufacturers' list box. (Device types are listed by manufacturer.)
h) Do one of the following:
1] If the correct device model is in the list, select the correct device from the list of device models.
2] If the correct device model is NOT in the list:
a] Click 'Have Disk'.
b] Type the drive letter and path that contains the drivers for the new hardware in the 'Copy Manufacturer's files from' box.
c] Follow all displayed instructions, and wait for Windows 95 to copy and configure the new CD-ROM device driver.
7) Shut down and restart Windows 95.
