MS-DOS Messages

The MS-DOS operating system may display a warning or error message if it encounters a problem with a

command in the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or a command that you entered at the DOS prompt.

Following are a few of the most common MS-DOS messages.

Bad command or file name

A command was entered that is spelled incorrectly or does not exist on the computer.

Invalid media type reading drive X (where X is any drive letter)

Abort, Retry, Fail?

The media may not be formatted. Press a to abort, then format the card using the MS-DOS Format command, or

from Windows using the Format Disk command.

Invalid drive specification

You tried to access a drive that does not exist. This can happen if you try to access drive D, but the media is not

loaded. Report this error to your supervisor or help desk.

Non-System disk or disk error

Replace and press any key when ready

This can occur if media is in the card socket and you restart the computer. Remove the media, and then press any

key.

Not ready reading drive X (where X is any drive letter)

Abort, Retry, Fail?

Make sure that the media is inserted fully into the card socket, then press r to retry.
