Error: Drive <x> is in use by a local drive...(due to letter already in use).
Error:
Drive <X> is in use by a local drive. Do you want to assign it as a network drive? or Volume does not exist: <X>: = <SERVER\SYS:PUBLIC>
Cause:
Choosing 'Y' for the first error message will generate the second message. The user attempted to map a drive letter (to a Novell network server) which is already assigned to a Windows NT, Workgroups or LAN Manager server. NWREDIR cannot distinguish between an existing network connection and a local drive.
Solution:
Use a different drive letter to map to the Novell network server or disconnect the existing network drive.
Do one of the following:
1) Disconnect the existing network drive.
a) Right-click 'My Computer'. (A pop-up menu appears.)
b) Select 'Disconnect Network Drive...' from the pop-up menu.
c) Select the drive to be disconnected from the 'Drives' list box, and click 'OK'.
2) Map to a different drive letter.
a) Right-click 'My Computer'. (A pop-up menu appears.)
b) Select 'Map Network Drive...' from the pop-up menu. (The 'Map Network Drive' dialog box appears.)
3) Select the drive letter to be mapped from the 'Drive' drop-down list box.
4) Type the path of the network drive in the 'Path' box.
5) Select the 'Reconnect at Startup' check box.
6) Click 'OK'.
