"Invalid Drive...For Swap Files" - Use /D Sta |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: When a customer starts WP, the error "LC: Invalid Drive Or Directory Specified For Disk Swap Files" displays. Solutions: Using the /D startup option to redirect the virtual files to a valid directory with about 3M disk space free corrected the problem. If the temporary files are directed to a network drive, make sure the user has sufficient rights to the network directory. On a Novell network, users need TRUSTEE rights to the temporary files directory. Another user corrected this error by remarking out (placing REM before the line) DEVICE=C:\NAV\NAV&.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file. This line loads the Norton Desktop Navigator. Another option would be to use the standard network drivers for Novell NetWare 3.11 (IPX and NETX) instead of the Novell NetWare 4.0 VLM files. How/Why: The /D startup option will redirect the following files: {WPC}{CK.BSW WP}WPC{ .CHK WP}WPC{ .SPC WP}WPC{ .VRM >This is the actual swap file< If /D= is not used, these files will go in the WP60 directory where WP.EXE is located. If the /D= is used but is pointed to an invalid directory, you will get the above error and these four files will go in the WP60 directory where WP.EXE is located. For example, a customer had a SET command in the Novell login script that redirected temp files to each user's personal directory. This would have been OK except that the customer had mapped the drive to the user's directory and then used the information on page 858 of the manual to add the user's personal directory name at the end of the mapped drive. Thus it was directed to a nonexistent directory. The /PS= option used to redirect the personal SET files will redirect the .SET file to the directory specified as long as it is pointing to a valid directory. When you use /D= and /PS= together, they will both work independently of each other and serve their respective purposes. For example, if you use /D pointing to an invalid directory and /PS pointing to a valid directory, then the four temporary and overflow files will be in the WP60 directory where WP.EXE is, and the SET file will be wherever it was directed to. |
