Title: Archos overdrive cd.
Post by: doyle86 on May 23, 2007, 12:42:38 AM

Hi all,
    I was just playing around with my old 1200 and found that I needed to install the drivers for the overdrive cd.  My disks are corrupted from old age and now I can't use the cd.  Does anyone know where I can get the drivers?  Or is there a work around?

Thanks

I hope this is the right forum for this

Ok,
   FOund the drivers on the net, but can't get the darn thing to work.  It worked fine until I formated the harddrive and had to install the software.  Any one have any experiance with this?

You'll have to be a bit more specific than "it doesn't work" I'm afraid!

You should be able to use the install disk to install the software, and mount CD0: and use it. If you're using an accelerator try running without it as some accelerators conflict with the PCMCIA port.

Well,  I do have a blizzard mkIV 1230.  When I put that in the cdrom drive still worked.  I tried to install WB3.5 and I found I had to give DH0: more space by re-partitioning the harddrive.  That's when the trouble began.  I have installed the drivers for the drive and tries idefix97.  CD.device doesn't see the cdrom drive.  I can't even find cd.device in the devs drawer.  I had this problem years ago when I first bought the drive and now I can't remember what I did to fix it.  I have also tried a couple other cd drivers I pulled from aminet.  I'll keep working on it and see if it will jog my memory.

Thank you for your advice.
