Warning Messages

A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to do something before execution continues. For example, before you format a diskette, a message may warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the data. These warning messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to respond by typing a y (yes) or n (no).

NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either the application programs or the operating system. See Chap- ter 4, “Finding Software Solutions,” and the

documentation that accompanied the operating system and application programs.

Diagnostics Messages

When you run a test group or subtest in the system diag- nostics, an error message may result. These particular error messages are not covered in this chapter. Record the message on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist found in Appendix A, then see Chapter 11, “Getting Help,” for instructions on obtaining technical assistance.
