number on the disk.

The disk drive or hard disk cannot locate the proper track on the
disk.
Sharing violatlon
A file is open in a sharing mode that does not allow the com-
mand to write to the file.

flawed disk.

One other error message
might be related to faulty disk read or

cation tables

was incorrectly formatted or not formatted before use.
If this
error persists, the disk is currently unusable and must be for-
matted prior to use.
