SYMPTOMS
========
Microsoft Undelete for MS-DOS (UNDELETE.EXE) generates the following error
message when the command UNDELETE /LOAD is run:
Cannot load with neither option selected
CAUSE
=====
This error is the result of an improper combination of settings found in the
[defaults] section of the UNDELETE.INI file. This error occurs if the [defaults]
section of the UNDELETE.INI file appears as follows:
[defaults]
d.sentry=FALSE
d.tracker=FALSE
The UNDELETE /LOAD command relies on this section to load whichever option is set
to TRUE. If both values are FALSE, UNDELETE does not load.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- Use the command UNDELETE /T to specifically load Delete Tracker, or use
UNDELETE /S to specifically load Delete Sentry.
-or-
- Edit the UNDELETE.INI file to set the chosen method of delete protection to
TRUE. For example, to make the command UNDELETE /LOAD load Delete Sentry by
default, set the [defaults] section of the UNDELETE.INI file as follows:
[defaults]
d.sentry=TRUE
d.tracker=FALSE
For more information about the UNDELETE.INI file, type "help undelete" (without
the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt, press ENTER, and refer to the
Notes section.
