"Invalid Media Type" After Installation |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: If you cannot access a drive on your hard disk after installing MS-DOS 5.0, either the partition containing the drive is incompatible with version 5.0 of MS-DOS, or the drive is improperly formatted for MS-DOS 5.0. If the drive is improperly formatted, MS-DOS displays the message "Invalid Media Type" when you try to access information from the drive. To regain use of that drive, you need to back up your files and reformat the drive. Follow these steps to reformat an improperly formatted disk drive: 1. Insert the Uninstall disk in drive A, and restart your computer. The Uninstall program will appear on your screen. 2. Follow the instructions to restore your previous version of MS-DOS. 3. Insert Disk 1 in drive A and type A:HDBKUP to back up the files on the disk that is improperly formatted. (You can use a different program to back up your files, if you want.) 4. When you finish backing up this disk drive, press F3 to quit the Setup program. 5. Reinsert Disk 1 in drive A, type A:SETUP, and follow the instructions to reinstall MS-DOS version 5.0. 6. Use the FORMAT command to format any disk drives you have just created. 7. Insert Disk 3 (5.25" disk) or Disk 2 (3.5" disk) in drive A, and type A:HDRSTORE to restore the files you backed up. Follow the instructions to restore the files to the newly formatted disk drive. (If you used a different program to back up your files, use that program to restore your files.) |
