- This shouldn't be true. SE20BOOT should detect if the disk is preformatted
- or already has data on it and it should give you the option of formatting it.
- What happens when you try to run it with a disk that is not formatted? This
- 'cryptic' message, did it include some text that read (RC=112)? If so this
- is an OS/2 error code that means DISK_FULL.
-
- Can I make a request that if you, or any one else, receives error messages
- from this or other programs please report them. It's hard to fix problems
- if you don't supply all the relative information. That's the reason the
- error messages are given.
