    Is the media write protected ?

    STATUS CODE: 84 "Media Write Failed" error occurs consistently on certain media that are not known to be defective.

    Troubleshooting:

    Please look for messages similar to the following. Observe the "19" at the end of the line, following the write error on the media header. This is a message number reported by the OS, that can be translated with the net command. Typing net helpmsg 19 from a command prompt reports "The media is write protected." When this message is seen, write protection is the cause.
