NetWare NCOPY to Local Drive Gives Sharing Violation (90451)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q90451 SYMPTOMS
When you are running Microsoft Windows for Workgroups in 386 enhanced mode
or standard mode with the MS-DOS SHARE utility loaded, or you are running
Windows 95, and you use the Novell NetWare version 3.11 NCOPY command to
copy files to a local disk drive, you may receive the following error
message
Sharing violation reading drive <x>:
where <x> is the local target drive issued to the NCOPY command.
CAUSE
According to the Microsoft Windows 3.1 NETWORKS.WRI file:
Current versions of the NetWare shell are not fully compatible
with SHARE.
Because Windows for Workgroups loads VSHARE.386 (the virtual SHARE device
driver) when in 386 enhanced mode, the NCOPY anomaly may manifest itself
anytime Windows for Workgroups is running in 386 enhanced mode, or is
running in standard mode with the MS-DOS SHARE utility loaded.
RESOLUTION
Use the Windows for Workgroups File Manager or the MS-DOS COPY or XCOPY
command instead of the NCOPY command. In Windows 95, use Windows Explorer,
My Computer, or the MS-DOS COPY or XCOPY command.
