The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Diskettes formatted on an external 3.5" drive do not work well with WordPerfect. The user receives messages such as "Incompatible File Format" and "Data Error Reading Drive." Solutions: The customer was using a TSR called QFORMAT (it came with the utilities for Take Two version 1.2) to access the 3.5" drive. Only diskettes formatted with the 3.5" drive had problems. Diskettes formatted on another computer work fine. Since the company that produced QFORMAT has gone out of business and no further information is available, customers who have this problem should format their diskettes on another computer. WPCorp cannot determine if the drive or the TSR is at fault.
