Explanation Of Why /NC Works For "Drive Not R |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Why does using the /NC startup option work for customers getting a "Drive Not Ready Reading Drive A:" error message? Solutions: When WordPerfect changes the cursor speed, it modifies the clock timer interrupt service routine (ISR). In some cases when WP modifies the timer, the computer thinks it is running faster than it really is. This demonstrates itself on the disk drive when the computer turns off the drive motor before the drive finishes its access. This produces the "Drive Not Ready Reading Drive A:" error message. Using the /NC option returns the cursor speed to normal. |
