George, I may be jumping in here late. I experienced that problem once. I have a Mitsumi top-load CD drive mounted in my desktop case which is on its side (!). I use a small piece of scotch tape to stick the cd to the spindle so I can close the door without it falling out. If the CD is not properly aligned on the spindle, I get that error. -Patrick

Patrick, Yikes! No, what I determined was that the false error only appeared if I was requesting EMS buffers and using 386MAX. Annoying but yet managable as if I use himem.sys/emm386 OR no EMS it all works fine! George
