Greetings,
I hope someone can help. I loaded WNNT 40, SPK2, and 2 hotfixes
( rpc40i & wtcp40i ) on six PRIORIS 6200/4. ON one of the machines
I can not Format a diskette on my A: drive nor can I coopy anything
to it. I keep getting an error that says, Drive is write - protected,
unprotect drive and try again. THE Diskette IS NOT write-protected!!
I have tried the followiing: changed diskettes and used a new one.
took the diskette to another box ( it works fine ). changed the floppy
drive. changed flat ribbon cable to floppy. re-ran SCU ( same as all
other boxes). re-installed bios REV 1.04, rebooted. I looked in NT
notes
and didn't find any related topics...
I do not want to believe that it is a mother board controller problem.
Is there "something" in NT40 that I am not aware of. I would rather
believe it its operator error...
thanks
Bill

Another WAG: the combination of SP2 and anti-virus utilities (Norton,
McAfee) set to auto-start supposedly do bad things with floppy access.

I've got no anti-virus running or installed at this time. I am planning to be back on the customers site Wedsday, and will check the Network Security enabled then. If I find the cause of this problem,I will post it here. [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

re: NETRIX::"[email protected]" When you get time on the machine, see if you can boot DOS from floppy. Does it have write access then? If so, you can rule out hardware or BIOS/CMOS issues and concentrate on the NT end. /Bill | |||||
