ASTCACHE AND 3.5" FLOPPY DRIVES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Premium computer users may encounter a "write protection error" message when
|
||
|
|
reading or writing to 720K or 1.44MB 3.5" floppy drives when using the
|
||
|
|
ASTCACHE program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To correct this problem, use any of the following workarounds:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Disable advanced support for floppy writes either by adding the /D-
|
||
|
|
parameter, or change the /D+ to /D-, to the ASTCACHE line in the
|
||
|
|
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Enable Auto-slowdown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Don't cache the 1.44MB floppy, using the /-B option, (assuming drive
|
||
|
|
B is the 1.44MB drive, if drive A use the /-A parameter), on the
|
||
|
|
ASTCACHE line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
