ThinkTank Manual
Unable to Read or Write to Disk!
Where It May Occur: Varies
Possible Causes: ThinkTank tried to read (write) informa-
tion from (on) your outline disk and couldn’t.
Suggested Solutions: If your disk is “write—protected,”
remove the tab from the notch on the disk. Make sure the disk
is properly inserted in your drive and try the command again.
If it still doesn’t work, your outline nay be damaged, your
data disk defective, or your disk drives out of alignment. We
recommend following these steps:
1. Port as much of the outline as possible to a text
file to back it up.
2. Continue to work with the outline. If the error
recurs, the problem may be your disk. Create a new
outline on another disk and reconstruct the old one
as best you can using your backup copies.
3. If the error continues to occur, the problem nay be
in your disk drives. Ask your dealer to check out
your computer system and service it if necessary.
Note on Disk Problems
If you repeatedly encounter errors with your program
disk, the disk may be defective or your disk drives out of
alignment. Try using your backup copy of the program, or con-
tact your dealer or Living Videotext for a replacement (if you
purchased ThinkTank within the last 90 days). If this doesn’t
work, ask your dealer to check out your computer system and
service it if necessary
