rec.autos.simulators

I've just changed my hard drive for a bigger one and I'm trying to reinstall GPL
but when i select either full install or typical install after its done the
system and sound checks it comes up with 'This is not a valid CD, please contact
your vendor for further info...'

Any ideas how i get out of this....

Cheers

        I traced it to Win98 using DMA access to my CD, which in
the setup of GPL (and in nothing else) caused exactly the same
behaviour. Possibly the hard drive swaps have caused Win98 to
re-allocate your CD driver and re-initialise it to the default
setup?

        Under "CP: System: CD Drive" try toggling DMA access and
rebooting before installing. The GPL installer seems be be picky
about working with DMA access on my drive.

        Every other app has had no problem with the drive in this
mode for the last 6-9 months ...

        Hope this helps!

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't work. But it did start me
thinking and I eventually found the answer. I have recently added a scsi cd
writer and to get windows to recognise it I had to disable IRQ steering in
control panel/system/device manager/system devices. Enabling it to load GPL then
turning it back off afterwards did the trick....

Thanks for starting off the train of thought...
