Appendix D Disk and Device Errors 2691
Seek error
• MS·DOS is unable to locate the information on the disk.
Make sure that the disk is properly inserted in the drive, or try
a different drive.
Sharing violation
• A program tried to access a file that another program was
currently using.
Choose A (for Abort), or wait awhile and choose R (for Retry).
Write fault error
• MS·DOS is unable to write data to the specified device.
Make sure that the disk is properly inserted in the disk drive.
Try
R (for Retry). If the error occurs again, choose A (for
Abort).
Write protect error
• You tried to write data on a write-protected disk.
If the disk has a write-protect tab on it, you must remove the
tab before you can write on the disk. (You should consider first
why the disk was write-protected.) If the disk doesn't have a
write-protect notch, you cannot write on that disk.
Action Messages
The action message may be either of the following:
reading
writing
Device Messages
The device is the name of the device that has the error. Examples
are device
PRN (for a printer) or drive A (for a disk drive). MS·DOS
waits for you to type one of the following responses:
A Abort. End
the program requesting the disk read
or write.
Ignore. Ignore
the bad sector and pretend the error
did not occur. This may result in lost data.
R Retry. Repeat
the operation. You should use this
response
when you have corrected the error (for
example, with "Not ready" or "Write protect" errors).
