The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q83447 SYMPTOMS
Use of the MS-DOS versions 4.x GRAPHICS.COM file in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file may cause one of the following error messages to appear in
Windows 3.1 File Manager:
Cannot read drive I
Error reading drive I
Drive I does not exist
CAUSE
Some applications, such as Harvard Graphics, install GRAPHICS.COM. If
you are using MS-DOS 4.x, this error may occur after you install
Windows 3.1.
If you choose the OK button when the error appears, File Manager
displays all of the legitimate drive icons, but the files within the
subdirectories are inaccessible.
This error does not occur with later versions of MS-DOS.
WORKAROUND
To correct the problem, remove the reference to the MS-DOS 4.x
GRAPHICS.COM file from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
