SYMPTOMS

When you run Microsoft Windows Undelete or the MS-DOS-based version of Undelete on a LANtastic server, you receive the following error message:

Disk drive failed - could not perform operation.

CAUSE

You cannot use Undelete on a local drive if LANtastic is running in server mode because all local drives are viewed as network drives.

RESOLUTION

To run Undelete, disable the server service by typing REM and space in front of the server command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and then restarting the computer.
