The error message “Microsoft Windows 32-bit disk driver
(WDCTRL) phase 03, 3f” appears when you open Windows.
A device conflict occurs between Microsoft Windows 32-bit
access and the EZ-Drive driver. To resolve the conflict and
enable 32-bit access, follow the instructions in the “Windows
32-bit disk access” section on page 16.
Disabling EZ-Drive
You can remove the EZ-Drive boot information from the boot
sector of Drive C. In doing so, you may lose access to the files
on your EZ-Drive installed drive. Before you disable EZ-Drive,
we recommend that you back up your files. To disable EZ-
Drive:
1. Insert a bootable diskette in the diskette drive and boot the
computer. Do not open the diskette drive door to load the
EZ-Drive installed drive.
2. Insert a diskette with FDISK.
3. Type fdisk/mbr. This command erases the EZ-Drive in-
struction in the boot record on Drive C and restores the
original DOS master boot record. The files on your drive
are not affected. However, you can no longer access the
EZ-Drive installed drive with EZ-Drive. To make the drive
available, you must repartition and reformat it using an-
other method. Any files written to the drive are erased
during the repartition and reformat.
