Problem

Solutions: The error "Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail?" appears when DOS can't read or write some area of the disk, perhaps because the format information for a sector is damaged or bad. Abort cancels the procedure, and Retry tries the procedure again. Ignore ignores the error and proceeds. During a copy, for example, Ignore tells the copy to continue, but the resulting file may have missing information that DOS could not copy correctly. Fail skips the problem, and DOS tries to continue with the procedure. If the problem is an inability to access a disk drive, you may be prompted to enter a new current disk drive name. Note: This message may appear for other hardware-related problems, such as an incorrectly specified COM port, or requesting information from a drive such as B: that does not have a disk in the drive. This error message appears under certain circumstances, and the exact wording of the message may vary according to the type and version of DOS. Because of this, not all four words will always appear together in an error message. In responding to this message, you may choose A for Abort and receive the message again. Choosing F for Fail the second time usually aborts the read/write attempt.
