Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to

respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a

drive, a message will warn you that you may lose all data on the drive.

Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by

typing y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE:

Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating

system. For more information, see the documentation that accompanied the

operating system or application.

on your system. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 173 for more
