Pkzip: Insert disk #6. You only have 5.

by rexx6605 . Updated 25 years, 1 month ago

I am in the process of doing a complete re-install of Windows 98 on my machine.

While I was archiving my info onto floppies, I tested each archive upon completion to ensure a good re-install.

The problem arose that when you test an archive, there is a phantom disk at the end.

In a 5-disk archive, testing would request disk #6.

There must be a buffer overrun to disk or something.

My solution was to make a filler text file. After several adjustments, the archive was created onto 6 disks and tested fine.

Has anyone had a similar experience?
