Problem

Symptoms: A customer is receiving the message, "Disk Error 18 Reading Drive C" when installing WordPerfect. This customer, however, does not have a C drive on his computer. He has a D drive and a remote drive labeled G. He is trying to install WP to the G drive. Solutions: The customer had a couple of problems. 1) His CONFIG.SYS file was located on drive D. The Install program looks to the C drive when a hard drive install is requested. He used the following DOS command to temporarily let the Install program find the CONFIG.SYS on drive C: SUBST c: d:\. 2) He received the error message because he had so many programs running resident that he didn't have sufficient files to execute the Install program.
