PC DB: Err Msg: Not Find Mail System Data Files on Drive M (128357)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2
  • Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.2a
This article was previously published under Q128357

SYMPTOMS

When you start the Administration program (ADMIN.EXE) for Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, the following message may be received:
Could Not Find Mail System Data Files on Drive M:

CAUSE

This may be caused if ADMIN.EXE cannot open the MODEM.GLB with READ/WRITE access.

When ADMIN.EXE launches, it tries to open the MODEM.GLB with READ/WRITE access. If this fails, either due to corruption or the READ-ONLY attribute having been applied, ADMIN.EXE will fail to start, returning the above error.

RESOLUTION

If this should occur, either remove the READ-ONLY attribute, or remove the file.

A new MODEM.GLB can be created by doing the following:
  1. Delete MODEM.GLB
  2. Restart ADMIN.EXE

    A MODEM.GLB will be recreated automatically.
  3. Because the new MODEM.GLB may not have the correct settings, select Config, Serial in ADMIN.EXE to set the baud rate, comm prt, and dial type.
