If the error message still occurs, you probably have a

defective diskette. Use the MS-DOS COPY command to

copy the files from the diskette onto another diskette. (See

“Copying Files” in Chapter 4 for instructions.)

If you are not able to copy all the files from the defective

diskette, copy as many as you can and then use the

MS-DOS program RECOVER. This program recovers all

the data that it can read on the diskette. It is specifically

designed to work on disks that may be defective. See your

MS-DOS Reference Manual for instructions on using

RECOVER.

Note

RECOVER renames all files on the diskette, so use it

only after you have copied as many files as possible with

the MS-DOS COPY command.

6. If you see no error messages but there is something wrong

with the data in a file, MS-DOS or an application program

may have updated the storage information on the diskette

incorrectly. This is probably the case if you have one of

these problems:

Part of a file is missing

A file includes parts of other files

An expected output file is missing.

To make the necessary repairs, use the MS-DOS program

CHKDSK. See your MS-DOS Reference Manual for

instructions.
