If reinserting the diskette does not solve the problem and
you have access to another diskette drive of the same
type, place the diskette in the other drive and repeat the
operation. If this works, the trouble may be in your
diskette drive. See “Diskette Drive Problems,” below.
4.
Check to see if you have inserted the right type of
diskette. For example, are you trying to read a 1.44MB
diskette in a 720KB diskette drive? See “Types of Diskette
Drives” in Chapter 3 for more information.
5.
If your diskette is the right type for your drive, see if it is
write-protected. On a 51/4-inch diskette, there may be a
write-protect tab over the notch on its side or there may
be no notch. On a 31/2-inch diskette, the write-protect
switch may be set to the write-protect position or there
may be no switch. You cannot alter data on a write-
protected diskette. (Some application programs do not
function properly if the diskette is write-protected. Check
the program manual.) See Chapter 3 for information.
6.
Is the diskette formatted? A new diskette must be
formatted before you can store data on it. See your
MS-DOS manuals for instructions on formatting
diskettes.
7.
You may have entered an incorrect diskette drive type
when you ran the SETUP program. Run SETUP again to
check the setting. See Chapter 2 for instructions.
