"Drive Not Ready Reading Drive C:..." - LANta |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer received the error message "Drive Not Ready Reading Drive C: 1 Retry, 2 Cancel" on a LANtastic network when trying to enter WordPerfect from a workstation that only had an A: drive. If the user selected 1 to Cancel, she could enter WP without a problem. WordPerfect was linked to D:\WP51. The operator followed the information found in Memo ID WP51_3923K, which instructs the user to change all directories under Location of Files to D:\WP51; however, the error still occurred. Solutions: The customer went into the LANtastic NET utility (by typing NET at a DOS prompt). From there, she went into Network Disk Drives and Printers. This option tells the user what drives are linked to which letter. It stated that the workstation's C: drive was linked to the file server's A: drive. So, if the user were to create a file named C:\TEST, it would actually create the file on the A: drive of the file server. The WP{WP}.ENV file contained the following: /NT=8 (Network type=LANtastic) /PS=C:\WP51 (Place setup files in C:\WP51) Therefore, the workstation was trying to create a .SET file in C:\WP51 which was actually the A: drive on the file server. When the customer placed a disk in the A: drive of the file server, the problem went away. For a permanent fix, the .ENV file was changed to read /PS=D:\WP51. Note: For WP 5.0, the correct network type is /NT-4 (IBM Emulation). LANtastic is not directly supported in WP 5.0. |
