Following is the explanation for your problem. As well, please take note of the phrase "For help in troubleshooting why a CD-ROM is running in DOS compatible mode contact Microsoft Technical Support".
If, after reading and executing this diagnosis and remedy, you still have problems installing Personal Oracle8, please feel free to e-mail this "yuppie".
Problem Description:
trace svr80.map (0): file_not_found while mapping tracesvr80
Problem Explanation:
You can determine if a machine is running in compatible mode by right-clicking on MY COMPUTER, choosing PROPERTIES, and then selecting the PERFORMANCE tab. This will bring up a window that tells you which drives, if any, are running in compatible mode, or if your machine is running a complete 32-bit FileSystem.
Problem References:
If a machine is running in compatible mode, a log file should be created called IOS.LOG. This will list the devices that are running in
realmode and the reason why.
For help in troubleshooting why a cd-rom is running in dos compatible mode contact Microsoft Technical Support.
