If you see one of these messages, make sure the diskette is
properly inserted in the drive. On a 51/4-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 manuals for instructions.)

9. 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.

Use CHKDSK to make the necessary repairs; see your

MS-DOS manuals for instructions.

Diskette Drive Problems

If you see an error message or have difficulty with a diskette

drive, check the following

1. If you are having problems with a new diskette drive that

your dealer installed for you, consult your dealer about
the problem.

2. If you installed the drive yourself, did you carefully

follow all the instructions in Chapter 7 of this manual?

Review the instructions and check all the cable
connections to make sure you have installed it correctly.
