When in the command prompt under Windows XP. I'm
recieving the error message:

Not ready reading drive E
Abort, Retry, Fail?

when I do the following steps:
1) net use r: \\<computer name>\c
2) r:
3) cd\<directory>
4) \<another directory>\file.exe

in my situation I'm running a file that has been written
in quick basic, and reads information from other files on
a networked computer (this being the same computer
the .exe file is located on). I don't seem to get this
problem on any other computer in my network. (Which are
all running factory installed copies of windows XP home
ed.) I have already installed all of the windows updates
and still recieve this error. I'm looking either for a
way to reinstall windows updates. Or a manual fix for
this problem. I only recieve this problem when I run a
file that is located in another directory while in
another directory. But not when I run a file that is
located in another directory while I am on the root
directory. I do not know if this matters either but the
factory computer is a Sony Vaio and is the only one
giving me the problem. Any information either about dos
configuation files, reinstalling windows updates, or a
specific fix would be much appretiated
 
Are you dealing with XP Embedded boxes? If not, we can't help you much as
this NG mostly deals with XPe development.
If it is XP Pro, you may want to post your questions to
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
