Is the diskette formatted? A new diskette must be formatted

before you can store data on it. See your MS-DOS

Reference Manual for instructions on formatting diskettes.

You may have entered an incorrect diskette drive type when

you ran the Setup program. Run the Setup program again to
check the setting. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

Did you receive one of the following MS-DOS error
messages?

❏ Disk Drive Error: Abort, Ignore, Retry?

❏ Disk error reading drive d:

❏ Disk error writing drive d:

If you see one of these messages, make sure the diskette is

properly inserted in the drive. On a 5¼-inch diskette drive,
make sure the drive latch is closed. Try the operation again.

If the problem persists, try removing the diskette and

reinserting it. This may solve the problem if the diskette was
not seated properly in the drive.

If the error message still occurs, you may have a defective

diskette. Use the MS-DOS COPY command to copy the
files from the bad diskette to a new diskette. (See your
MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions.)

If you see no error messages but there is something wrong
with the data in a file, MS-DOS or an application program
may have updated the storage information on the diskette

incorrectly. This is probably the case if you have one of

these problems:

❏ Part of a file is missing

❏ A file includes parts of other files

❏ An expected output file is missing.
