= SUMMARY =

You may receive a “Hard disk error” message when running the MWCOPY utility, even though there is nothing wrong with the hard disk. The reasons for this problem are as follows:


 * 1) You tried to execute MWCOPY from Drive C by typing A:MWCOPY.
 * 2) You are switched to Drive A, but are not in the root directory of Drive A.

Because of one of the above reasons, the MSTOOLS directory was set up as a file rather than a subdirectory. To correct this problem, delete the MSTOOLS file and run MWCOPY again.
