(The Windows 32-Bit Disk Access driver will not work when there is an IDE CD-ROM on the primary controller.)If you must choose between 32-Bit File Access and 32-Bit Disk Access, Ontrack recommends that you choose 32-Bit File Access.To display information on how this Enhanced 32-Bit Disk Accessis operating, enter at the DOS prompt, Set Ontrackdebug=yes and start Windows.
