SYMPTOMS
========

A CD that contains audio, video, and data-formatted media will launch the CD
player when Autorun.inf is run. The CD Player will operate correctly but an
attempt to browse the CD-ROM drive using Windows NT Explorer or My Computer,
will result in the following error:

  Drive letter X:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect. Retry or
  Cancel.

  -or-

  Drive letter X:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupt and
  non-readable. Retry or Cancel.

NOTE: X is the drive letter of the CD ROM drive.

CAUSE
=====

The Windows NT CD file system does not support the functionality of dual formats
on CD-ROMs.

WORKAROUND
==========

Windows 95 does support this function and using this operating system will allow
its usage.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0 We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
