- Q. My DiskDrive isnt copying my disks properly, what is going on?
-
-
- A. Check the back of your Drive and see if it has an AntiVirus
- Switch, If it has, it will not copy ANY Disks with a Non Standard
- Boot Block. Just turn the switch off so that you can copy these types
- of disk!If it has'nt got a switch, It may be that your DiskDrive is
- faulty, or (as you wer'nt very specific about what was actually
- happening) could just be that your Drive thinks that your Disks are
- Write Protected, in these cases, just take your Drive to your local
- Computer store (one that does repairs) and see what they have to say!
- If all else fails try cleaning it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Q. I recently purchased F15 II by Microprose but it wont work from
- my harddrive. It keeps asking for disk one even though I used the
- install program that came with the game. After I have installed it
- on the Harddrive, it asks me to assign it, what does this mean?
-
-
- A. To assign a game to your HardDrive is to tell the computer where
- on the Harddrive the Game disks are stored.
- To this is suprisingly easy! All you have to do is the following.
-
- Edit your User-Startup file in Shell by typing :
-
- ED s/user-startup [RETURN]
-
- and add the following lines
-
- assign f15(game) dh1:games/f15
- assign f15(scenario) dh1:games/f15
-
- This will only work if you have f15 on Dh1 in the Games draw and in
- its own drawer called F15, if you have it in any other place, make
- sure that you put that instead.
-
- e.g
-
- Assign f15(game) dh0:Sims/F15
-
- this would put it on Dh0: in the Sims/F15 drawer!
