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

Problem

Symptoms: The computer locks during a spell-check when the timed backup comes on. Then the error "Drive Not Ready Writing Drive C:" appears. Solutions: According to the DEC Station 333C Users Guide, in order to write to a nonstandard hard drive (i.e., when creating a temporary backup file), the NONSTD.SYS driver must be loaded. WordPerfect was being run from a network but the temporary files were being written to the C: drive. The C: drive that was being used was a nonstandard disk drive and therefore required a device driver in order to access it.
