<P><##004><B><C>Information for users of DVD writers

BootIt NG works with most DVD+R/+RW/-R/-RW drives.  There a couple
things worth pointing out here:

  1) The 'CD Close Method Z' has no affect on the closing method
     used with DVD media.

  2) DVD-RW media must be new or fully blanked.  Using quick blanked
     media will abort the image process with a write error.  This is
     specific to DVD-RW media and does not apply to DVD+RW media.

  3) Many DVD drives *require* firmware updates if you use 4x DVD
     media.  Be sure to check the drive manufacturer's website.

<B>Adaptec AHA2940UW (945300-02 B):

Enter the latest version of the SCSISelect utility by pressing Ctrl-A
when the Adaptec copyright message is displayed on boot.  Choose the
'SCSI Device Configuration' menu and disable the 'Write Back Cache'
option to prevent occasional data corruption.  The problem may be
limited to the old (1996?) "945300-02 B" chip as testing with the
"945300-02 C" chip worked correctly with the cache enabled.

<B>ATA/IDE

Should you have any problems using this software with your system or
devices then there are a few things you can try:

  1) *Upgrade the BIOS/firmware of the system or controller.
  2) In the BIOS/firmware, disable "block mode" for the devices.
  3) In the BIOS/firmware, disable "32Bit mode" for the devices.
  4) In the BIOS/firmware, change the "PIO" or "DMA" mode used.
  5) *Downgrade, if allowed, the BIOS/firmware of system or controller.

*You must obtain the correct BIOS/firmware and instructions from the
 manufacturer of the system or controller being upgraded or downgraded.
