Computers with two CD-ROMs: This usually occurs when one CD-ROM drive is a rewritable device.

     • Your computer will access one of the CD-ROMs first depending on the configuration of your computer.
     • If the audio CD is not placed in the CD-ROM that is accessed first, a message stating that there is no CD in the drive will appear.
   • Solution
     • Use the CD-ROM that is configured to be accessed first for the audio CD. Trial and error is the best method for determining which CD-ROM drive will work.
     • Disconnect or turn off the second CD-ROM drive temporarily while using this software.
       • Windows users may disconnect one CD-ROM in the settings section of the control panel for that CD-ROM.
       • External CD-ROMs may simply be turned off.
