- Yes, I have been getting "System Error: The drive cannot find the
- sector requested." when opening up drive A: from the WPS icon.
- This is not reproducible as the disk will be accessed after repeated
- attempts.
-
- Another problem, perhaps related, is that a DOS program (Current Contents
- on Diskette 1.3) calls PKUNZIP when loading new data from A: to the HDD.
- The program can't find A: mostly and will search B:, and when it does find
- A: for the 1st of 2 diskettes, it never finds A: for the 2nd.
-
- I haven't been able to figure out why this won't work. I went well under
- DOS 5.0.
