TITLE: "The Specified Drive Is a Removable Drive" Appears Installing
PRODUCT: Ami Pro 2.0
DATE: 07-Oct-1991
PROBLEM:
Attempting to install Ami Pro 2.0 results in the message "The specified drive
is a removable drive". Choosing OK results in the message "Not enough disk
space on specified drive. Continue Anyway?".
SOLUTION:
The Ami Pro 2.0 installation program checks the media descriptor byte of the
specified drive to determine what type of drive is specified for the
installation destination. This is done to provide an alert message in the
event that a floppy drive is specified (Ami Pro cannot be installed on floppy
disks). Any drive which is recognized by the system as removable media will
generate these messages during the Ami Pro installation, even drives such as
Bernoulli boxes.
As long as the specified drive is an accessible hard drive (removable
cartridge is physically positioned in the drive, for example) with sufficient
available disk space, the Ami Pro installation will proceed by choosing OK to
the above two messages.
