Message: General failure to read or write a file

Cause

There may be a number of reasons why it is not possible to read or write the file. If the file is on a floppy disk, the disk may have been removed from the drive. If the file is on a hard disk, the disk structure may be corrupt.

What Can I Do?

If the file is on a floppy disk, check the disk is correctly inserted in the drive.

If the file is on a hard disk, run your disk diagnostic utilities to check for a corrupted disk structure.
