- INTERNET FOR OS/2 WARP BONUS PACK FROM CD-ROM
- ================================================================
-
- Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS:
-
- XDFCOPY error message XDF3507 when trying to make the
- diskettes for the Internet portion of the Warp BonusPack.
- The error occurs ONLY on the INETCON1,2,3 & 4.IMG files.
- The rest of the BonusPack installs fine from the CDROM.
-
- When you try to install from the CDROM using the BonusPack
- installation menu instead of making the diskettes using
- XDFCOPY, you get an UNZIP error.
-
- G:\INTERNET\IAK1.ZIP did not unzip correctly (rc=-51).
- Do you wish to continue the installation?
-
- G:is the CDROM drive letter
-
- If you continue installation, you also get the same error on
- IAK2,3 & 4.ZIP files. The BonusPack installation program
- errors out and reports the following:
-
- The exit program for "IBM Internet Connection for OS/2"
- gave a bad return code of 65535. Continue with the
- installation?
-
- If you select OK, installation stops.
-
-
- RESOLUTION:
- You have the following options:
-
- 1. Run the XDFCOPY on another machine with a different
- CDROM drive. You can use the diskette you create to
- install on the machine that is failing.
-
- 2. Try to copy the .IMG files from the CDROM to a temporary
- subdirectory on the hard disk and run XDFCOPY from the
- .IMG files on the hard disk.
-
- 3. Check the BonusPack CDROM for dirt or scratches. CDROMs
- can suffer from the same read problems as audio CDs.
- Inspect the CD CADDY it is in or the CDROM drive drawer
- area for any dust or dirt.
-
- 4. If none of the above works, get a replacement BonusPack
- CD-ROM.
-
- PROCEDURES:
-
- This problem occurs on Mitsumi CDROM drives (FX-001D and
- FX-100D) and may occur on others. It appears to be a CDROM
- drive read problem. The drive electronics and/or mechanics
- may not aligned, for example: out of tolerance or spec. so
- a read error occurs on the BonusPack CDROM.
-
- The failure is only on the "Internet Connection for OS/2"
- component of the Warp BonusPack CDROM. Other CD-ROM
- installations were successful.
