TOPIC




    When I try to boot a MacWorks disk on my Lisa, I get an error code 38.

    This error is placed under an icon with a check in it. It only accesses
    the floppy for a brief moment and then gives the error code. It then
    prompts me to continue or to choose a startup device (STARTUP FROM...).
    When I continue, the above occurs again, over and over. If I choose a
    startup device, it gives me the option of the floppy only -- not the HD.

    What's going on?


DISCUSSION



    Error 38 is "No Boot File on Disk." It sounds like the MacWorks disk was
    erased. If the disk was good to begin with, you have a hardware problem
    with the floppy drive.
