File Manager Errors

File manager error messages often appear when you are working with items on the in NewManager, such as the Wastebasket. In many cases, you can easily correct the problem and repeat the operation without further error.

FM-01: Could not find the file or folder. It may have been deleted. If using a network, you may not have access to the file or folder. Rescan the drives to see the current view of an open window to determine if the file is really there.

FM-02: Could not find the requested folder. Rescan the drives to see the current view of an open window to determine if the file is really there.

FM-03: [name] cannot be accessed. It may already be in use or be a read-only file. If on a network, you may not have permission to access to this file. Some files can only be opened by one user at a time. Also, this message may appear if you attempt to save a read-only file.

FM-04: Unable to locate this drive. If on a network, the connection may have been lost. Restart your computer.

FM-05: You cannot copy or move a file to itself. This usually occurs when you accidentally select the wrong file in the file selector dialog box. Select a different destination for the copy or move. This can also occur when dragging a file icon over the icon of the folder which contains it.

FM-06: You cannot copy or move [name] to one of its own folders. This usually occurs when you accidentally select the wrong folder in the file selector dialog box. Select a different destination for the copy or move. This could also occur if you have several windows open and try to move a folder into one of the subfolders it contains.

FM-07: The destination already contains a folder named [name], which cannot be overwritten because it contains the item you are moving or copying. This usually occurs when you accidentally select the wrong folder in the file selector dialog box. Select a different destination for the copy or move. This could also occur if you try to move a folder icon into its own window.

FM-08: You cannot perform this operation with the root folder.

FM-09: You exceeded the maximum number of open folders. Close one or more open folders and try again.

FM-10: Please re-enter the name using a valid name format. For DOS files, use the standard DOS format. For other applications and documents, the name can be up to 32 characters long. The DOS format is eight characters for the file name, followed by an optional period and 3-character extension.

FM-11: [name] is not an application or document that can be opened directly.

FM-12: You cannot format the drive containing the system software. You probably selected the wrong disk drive letter. Pick a different disk drive and try again.

FM-13: There is not enough room on the destination disk to copy this file. Empty the Wastebasket or remove some files from the disk and try again.

FM-14: [name] could not be thrown away because the Wastebasket is full. Empty the Wastebasket and try again. The Wastebasket can only hold a certain number of documents. Empty the Wastebasket from the File menu.

FM-15: There is not enough memory available to perform this operation. Close some windows or applications and try again.

FM-16: Another DOS program is already being launched. [name] cannot be launched at this time. Try launching (starting) the program again later.

FM-17: Could not delete the folder [name]. It may not be empty or you may not have the privilege to delete it. The folder probably contains items which you are not allowed to delete, such as read-only files. Open the folder and try deleting each item inside individually to determine which caused this message.

FM-18: This folder contains too many files. Not all of the filenames can be displayed. NewManager can only display about 400 items in a folder window. The remaining items are in the folder, but will not display on the screen.

FM-19: Could not rename the disk. You may not be allowed to change the name of the selected hard disk.

FM-20: Could not create the folder [name]. There may not be enough room on the destination disk. Remove some files and folders to open up some additional space on the disk. If you are trying to create the folder on a floppy disk, try using a different floppy disk.

FM-21a: Could not create the folder [name]. The internal path to it would be too long. You can rename higher-level folders to create a shorter path. DOS has a maximum length for path names. If you have used long names for folders or have many folders within folders, you may have exceeded this maximum.

FM-21b: Could not move or copy the entire selection. The path to the destination would be too long. Try copying lower-level subfolders to a higher level.

FM-21c: Could not throw away the entire selection. The path inside the wastebasket would be too long. Try throwing away lower-level subfolders first. Or, bypass the wastebasket by holding down the Alt key while dragging items to the wastebasket.

FM-22: Invalid characters in the volume name. Re-enter the volume name using valid characters. You can use the following characters in disk volume names: alphabetic characters, digits, and tilde, exclamation point, "at" sign, pound sign, dollar sign, percentage symbol, ampersand, parenthesis, underscore, hyphen, or curly brackets. You cannot use periods, commas, blanks, colons, asterisks, or any other keyboard characters not included above.

FM-27: An error occurred during this operation. Please try again.

FM-28: Cannot find the application for [name]. Try opening it from within an application. The document was created using a DOS application. You must start the application and then open the document from within it.
