The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0 and 6.2

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Microsoft Undelete for Windows on a LANtastic server, you
receive the following error message:

   Disk drive failed - could not perform operation.

NOTE: This problem does not occur with the MS-DOS-based version of
Microsoft Undelete.

CAUSE
=====

You cannot use Microsoft Undelete for Windows on a local drive if
LANtastic is running in server mode because all local drives are
viewed as network drives. To run Undelete, disable the server service
by typing "rem" (without the quotation marks) and space in front of
the server command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and then restarting the
computer.
