In a drive that has a storage capacity of 720KB, use

3 ½-inch, double-sided, double-density, 135 TPI

diskettes. You cannot use 1.44MB diskettes in this

drive.

See “Types of Diskette Drives” in Chapter 3 for more

information.

If your diskette is the right type for your drive, check to see

if the diskette is write-protected. On a 5 ¼-inch diskette,

there may be a write-protect tab over the notch on the side

of the diskette or there may be no notch at all. On a 3 ½-

inch diskette, the write-protect switch may be set to the

write-protect position or there may be no switch. You

cannot store or revise data on a write-protected diskette.

See Chapter 3 for information on write-protecting diskettes.

Some application programs do not function properly if the

diskette is write-protected. Check the program manual.

You may have entered an incorrect diskette drive type when

you ran the Setup program. Run the Setup program again to

check the setting. See Chapter 2 for instructions.

If MS-DOS displays errors when you try to access data, your

diskette may be defective. MS-DOS error messages that may

indicate a defective diskette include:

Disk Drive Error: Abort, Ignore, Retry?

Disk error reading drive d:

Disk error writing drive d:

If you see one of these messages, make sure the diskette is

properly inserted in the diskette drive. On your 5 ¼-inch

diskette drive, make sure the diskette drive latch is closed.

Try the operation again. If the problem persists, try

removing the diskette and reinserting it. This may solve the

problem if the diskette was not seated properly in the drive.
