"Disk Error 25" And "Disk Not Ready Reading D |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is running WordPerfect 5.1 under Windows 3.0 on a stand-alone machine. He is getting "Disk Error 25" when accessing a disk drive. A second customer gets a "Disk Error 25 Reading Drive" while running WP 5.0 with DOS 5.0. Another customer gets the error "Disk Not Ready Reading Drive A:" after trying to access the A: drive while Disk Technician Gold is running resident. Solutions: These problems are caused when WP writes cursor commands to the system timer. To perform some of its functions, Windows will intercept the action and change the values that WP is writing. This means that the two programs are conflicting in this area, which causes the disk drive access calls to fail. You can correct any of the above situations in one of two ways: 1. WP has a startup switch (/NC) that is used to disable these cursor commands. To use this option, simply add /NC to the WP .PIF file on the Optional Parameters line. This will not affect WP unless you have changed the cursor speed options in Setup. If you have changed the cursor speed options, the cursor speed setting will be ignored and the speed options will be set at Normal. 2. In Setup (Shift-F1, 3, 3) you can change the cursor speed to Normal, thus manually turning off the cursor calls to the system timer by setting the cursor speed to the system default.
