Damage To File Allocation Table - Caused By D |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer wants a refund because WP is damaging his File Allocation Table (FAT) and losing his files. Solutions: WP cannot damage the FAT or lose a file. How/Why: WP uses DOS to perform all writes to disk and to update the FAT and directory files. If the FAT is being damaged or files are being lost, something is causing DOS to make errors or to write in the wrong place. These problems could be caused by a TSR or other program active in memory (such as a virus) that could be affecting DOS. It could also be caused by a disk utility that writes to disk, such as a defragmentation utility or sector editor. It could also be a symptom of defective or failing hardware (e.g., failing hard disk). |
