Hello Everybody !

I'm using the CD-recorder programm, "Adaptec Toast 3.5.5" and I get an error
message when I boot or I'm using my Power PC. The system tell me that "the
CD insered is not formatted" and it asks me if I want to initialize the
CD... but I there is not CD in my recorder !

I guess that the problem is originated by the Toast CD driver because I've
tried to make a disk error verification and I've found the "ghost CD" in the
list of my disks...

Does anyone an idea to solve my problem without desinstall the programm or
the extention ?


Thanks in advance and sorry for my approximative english !


Best regards, D. De Vito (by not Danny ! He he).

I use Toast 3.55 with a G3 and have found the program and the drive (a
Philips CDD2600 mechanism) to be finicky. The combination tends not to
like other SCSI devices on the chain, particularly scanners. It's also
finicky concerning termination -- if you have passive terminators, you
might consider eliminating those and trying active termination.

Good luck,

steve
