The media may not be formatted. Press A to abort, then format the card using the MS-DOS Format command, or
from Windows using the Format Disk command.
Invalid drive specification
You tried to access a drive that does not exist. This can happen if you try to access drive D, but the media is not
loaded. Report this error to your supervisor or help desk.
