Errors: "Drive Not Ready..." And "Can't Find |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The user received the error message "Drive Not Ready Reading Drive F: 1. Retry 2.Cancel" followed by "Can't Find WP.FIL." The customer is using the Banyan network (4.0 rel 2). Solutions: This is a Banyan network specific error message. This error occurs when the connection with the file server is severed. This can occur for several reasons. The most likely cause is the file server's communication buffer is too small. The default is 58K, the maximum size is 400K. The size of the communication buffer is calculated based on the total amount of memory in the file server. For example: if the file server has 4-8M of memory, a communication buffer size greater than 58K but less than 400K may be ideal. If the file server has more than 8M of memory and will be required to support a large user base, it is suggested that the communication buffer be set at 400K. Additionally, the size of the communication buffer on the PC itself will influence its ability to maintain its connection. It may be necessary to increase the size of this buffer as well. This is done by using the PCCONFIG utility. The size of the communication buffer on the PC is influenced by the total amount of conventional memory. In this case, the users were launching WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS from Windows 3.0. The settings in the .PIF file will also contribute to the successful execution of WP. After consulting with Banyan and MicroSoft, the following suggestions are given. 1. Increase the size of the communication buffer. 2. Change the foreground priority to 7000 3. Use the /NC startup option |
