I have a Northgate 386/20 with 2 Hard Disks - a Microscience and a
Seagate 277R both running on an Adaptec RLL controller. My problem
occurs when performing certain functions on the Seagate (second drive) -
I get errors like Cannot Read Drive D (or something like that). For example,
if I am in the File Manager and move files between directories on D, everthing
works fine; but if I try to copy them to C I get an error. Outside of windows
I have no problems that I can find. BTW, I am running MS-DOS 4.01 and have
both drives formatted to their full capacity (about 62MB) on one partition.
If anyone has heard of this problem or can think of a solution, please let
me know. If not, I guess I'll have to call Microsoft.
Thanks,
Andy

If not, I guess I'll have to call Microsoft. Try the following: - If you're running Share.exe take it out, if not try running it. - If you're running SmartDrive, try without it. - Load the Adaptec auto-configuration device driver. (Go into Debug, G=c800:5 special options menu, generate auto-config.) -- ******************************************************************************** Disclaimer: My company knows not what I say (or do).
