WPINFO Lists RAM Drive As Fixed Disk |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: Why does WPINFO.EXE list a customer's RAM drive as a fixed disk? Solutions: To determine a media type, applications make a DOS call 1Ch to interrupt 21h, which returns a media descriptor value. The value for a fixed disk is F8h; floppy drives and other drives return different values. It is possible that the customer was running a memory resident software program that affected interrupt 21h, resulting in the wrong media descriptor value. |
