Symptoms: If the user does not specify a Documents directory in Location of Files and tries to update the learning files, the error "Write Protect Error Reading Drive A" displays. Also, the "Write Protect Error Drive A:" (or B:) error displays when the user installs diskettes. Solutions: Before updating the learning files, the user should specify a valid path for Documents in Location of Files. Also, make sure that Location of Files is not pointing to the A: or B: drive. Ensure that all the program files are being installed to valid directories. To do this: 1. Start the WordPerfect 6.0 for Dos install.exe 2. Answer the prompts, then select Custom / Minimum installation. 3. Select Install Files To.... This lists all of the types of program files and where the installation expects to install them.

NOTE: If the Document directory or Learning Files directory is left blank, the installation program will attempted to install to the drive you are installing from. Make sure that these paths are not blank. How/Why: The error occurs because the Installation program tries to write the learning files to the Documents directory. If no path is specified, Install tries to write the files to the current directory (which is usually the A: drive) which contains a write-protected Installation disk.
