Disk Error 34 "Invalid Disk Change" |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is running WP 5.1 and saving the files to a floppy in the A: drive. He saves the first copy on a disk and it works. When he tries to save it again to a second disk, he receives "Disk Error 34, Invalid Disk Change". This only happens when he uses a disk formatted from another version of DOS. It will work fine with disks formatted in the same version of DOS as the first disk. The user feels that running SHARE in his CONFIG.SYS will not allow him to change the disks if they are different DOS versions. He is running SHARE because his hard drive is larger than 32 meg. Solutions: If SHARE is looking for a volume name then the problem lies with SHARE and not with WP. There may be people with volume labels in the future who experience this problem, but WordPerfect has no control over that because WP has no problem with reading volume names. When the user unloaded "SHARE", he and had no problem. The user did some research and found that SHARE reads the volume label on the diskette to determine whether it is the same disk or not. He then loaded "share" again and used two floppies with the same volume name and did not have the problem. However, this will be a problem to users who give a volume name to their floppies. |
