Disk timeout The external disk drive did not respond in the time allowed. This can
occur if no disk drive is at the specified address, the disk is not
connected properly, the disk drive is not turned on, or another device on
the HP-IB is interfering with communication.
DOS directory The external disk drive contains a DOS directory (it actually is a valid
LIF directory which contains one file, which is the DOS directory). Be
very careful with this directory. If you delete the directory file (via
LIF RM) or reinitialize the disk (via LIF INIT), then your DOS directory
is lost. You can actually remove this directory by specifying the /F
optiontoLIFRM.
File already exists The LIF CP utility generates this error if the target file already exists on
the LIF disk. Use ‘’LIF RM’’ to remove the existing file from a
LIF disk or ‘’del’’ to remove the existing file from a DOS disk.
File not found The source file was not found by LIF RM or LIF CP. Check the spelling
of the file name. Remember that LIF file names are only 10 characters
long. File names are automatically translated to valid LIF names. If the
file name desired is not a valid LIF name, then use the /N option to
suppress the name translations.
LIF file system
is full
Either the directory area or the data area of the disk is full. Either
remove some files from the target disk, or use another disk which has
room.
LIF internal error This error indicates a possible problem with the PC’s memory.
Neither file is in a LIF file system This error is generated by LIF CP if neither the source nor the
destination file is in a LIF file system. Check your path names.
Remember that only internal floppies and external disk drives may be
LIFfilesystems.
No disk drive No disk drive was found at the specified unit, but there is a disk drive at
the specified address. The disk unit specifier was probably specified
incorrectly.
Not a valid drive specifier The drive specifier was incorrect. Run LIF SCAN to find all valid
LIF disk drive specifiers.
Not a valid HP-IB
card address
There is no HP HP-IB or National Instrument GPIB-PCII card at the
specified address. Run LIF SCAN to verify the HP-IB card address.
Not a valid LIF directory The disk does not contain a valid LIF directory, but it does contain a
valid LIF volume header. Check your disk, it is probably corrupt.
