Error Messages

ERROR MESSAGES

ThinkTank’s menus and prompts guide you easily through the program and minimize the chance of error. Occasionally, however, you may misunderstand an option, press a key inadver- tently, or tell ThinkTank to do something it can’t. When this happens, ThinkTank generally displays an error message to help you identity and correct the problem. This section lists all ThinkTank error messages and suggests what to do if they oc- cur. If you need further assistance, contact your dealer or Living Videotext.

Bad Disk in Drive n!

Where It May Occur: SPECIAL/DISK—MANAGER/COPY

Possible Causes: ThinkTank’s disk manager (not provided on all versions of ThinkTank) had trouble copying your disk.

Suggested Solutions: Make sure the problem disk is properly inserted in its drive. If it was in Drive 2, refor-

mat it or try another disk. Don’t rely on the disk you copied to; the copy is probably inaccurate.
