Works 2.00 Err Msg: Drive Types Not Compatible

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The following error can occur when using the Copy Disk command within File Management in Works:

Drive Types or Diskette Types not Compatible. Copy Process has Ended.

To use the Copy Disk command from Drive A to Drive B or vice versa, the drives and the disks must be the same type.

Both drives must be either 3.5-inch size or 5.25-inch size. The disks must be the same density (either “low density” or “high density”).

A possible workaround for computers with a 3.5-inch drive and a 5.25-inch drive would be to copy from Drive A to Drive A (or from Drive B to Drive B). DOS will prompt you to insert either the “source” disk or the “target” disk as needed (the source disk is the disk that is to be copied).
