“Disk Error” Reading Multiplan 1.x Files into Version 2.00 PSS ID Number: Q20796 Article last modified on 07-29-1988 PSS database name: D_MPlan

1.x 2.x

MS-DOS

Summary: You may get the error message “Disk error” when attempting to read Multiplan 1.x files into Multiplan 2.00. This may be caused by differences in disk formats between DOS 1.x and DOS 2.x and/or Versions 3.00, 3.01, 3.02, and 3.04 The following will correct this problem:


 * 1) Copy the 1.x files to a disk formatted with a later version of DOS, or save 1.xx files in SYLK format.
 * 2) Reload the SYLK version of the file into Multiplan 2.0.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Version 1.x. This problem was corrected in Version 2.01.
