This error is commonly encountered when attempting to read a diskette that is not readable or if no disk or disc in the drive trying to be read. Unable to read floppy diskette. CD-ROM receiving power but does not work. Access denied In new versions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 if you do not run the Windows command line in an elevated mode you will get "Access denied" errors when running a command. See our elevated mode for information about this mode and how to enter the mode. or Access dened can also be caused when a file or directory has read-only attributes, is being modified by another person or program, or other permissions preventing the action.

An error message is information displayed when an unexpected condition occurs, usually on a computer or other device. On modern operating systems with graphical user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_message interfaces, error messages are often displayed using dialog boxes. Error messages are used when user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abort,_Retry,_Fail%3F intervention is required, to indicate that a desired operation has failed, or to relay important warnings (such as warning a computer user that they are almost out of hard disk space). Error messages are seen widely throughout computing, and are part of every operating system or computer hardware device. Proper design of error messages is an important topic in usability and dos error other fields of human–computer interaction.

Device not ready This error most often occurs dos error codes when there is no floppy disk (or a bad disk) in the disk drive and the system tries to perform tasks involving this disk. File not found The file concerned may have been damaged, moved, deleted, or a bug may have caused the error. Alternatively, the file simply might not exist, or the user has mistyped its name. More frequent on command line interfaces than on graphical user interfaces where files are presented iconically and users do not type file names. Low Disk Space This error occurs when the hard drive is (nearly) full. To fix this, the user should close some programs (to free swap file usage) and delete some files (normally temporary files, or other files after they have been backed up), or get a bigger hard drive. Out of memory This error occurs when the system has run out of memory or tries to load a file too large to store in RAM. The fix is to close some programs, or install more memory. [program name] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. This message is displayed by Microsoft Windows XP when a program causes a general protection fault or invalid page fault. In Windows 7 it is changed into a more simple "[program name] has stopped working". Notable error messages[edit] Abort, Retry, Fail? - A notoriously confusi

(July 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) MS-DOS prompts "Abort, Retry, Fail?" after being commanded to list a directory with no diskette in the drive. In computing, "Abort, Retry, Fail?" is a computer error message in the DOS operating system which indicates a critical error and prompts the end-user for the course of action to follow. This and other similar error messages are given by the default critical error handler. The message was sometimes used as an example of poor usability design in computer user interfaces. Contents 1 Background 2 Default critical error handler 2.1 Responses 3 User experience 4 In popular culture 5 See also 6 References Background[edit] The DOS family of operating systems (such as MS-DOS, PC DOS and DR-DOS) date back to early microcomputers, which were primitive by modern computing standards. A primary design consideration was that software written for CP/M be portable to DOS without changes. In most CP/M systems attempting to read a disk drive with the door open hung waiting for an input event until the disk drive door was closed, on some hardware it would hang until an actual physical disk was in the drive. Many users of CP/M were accustomed to this as a method of managing multiple disks, by opening the disk drive to stop reading until the correct disk could be inserted. Even the first IBM-PC had more advanced hardware such that the CPU could tell that the disk drive door was open, but returning an error would break software that assumed it could not open a file until the user had closed the drive door. Still it was desirable to improve the experience if possible. In DOS, a critical error is one which might be fixable by operator intervention. The classic example is an attempt to read from the floppy drive without a diskette loaded. The computer has no way of determining whether it should wait for the user to load a disk, or abort the operation. The handling of different errors was somewhat illogical, for instance while no disk in the drive caused the error, the wrong disk in the drive caused an immediate return with an error, even though that was also fixable by the user. When DOS encounters a critical error, it generates software interrupt 24 (INT 24). The associated interrupt service routine (ISR) is called the critical error handler.[1] The default critical error handler was part of COMMAND.COM[1] and
