Problem with a Drive

Hello:

I have currently a problem when i have to open the
Autocad and the (A: Drive ) before i open a (DWG)
file from a Floppy and it was almost newly i started
to work with this version = 2004 of Autocad
and after i opened the file next time when i would want
to use autocad it started to open from my A: and i couldn't find anyway to
fix this problem and i want to ask
you what should i do?

Thank You for your help

 

Try making sure you have a floppy disk in the drive when you go to "open."
This will stop any error message. After that just browse to wherever the
file you want to open is.

AutoCAD can havea habit of looking to open a new file in the same place as
you opened the last file. This will be why it keeps trying to read from
your A:\ drive.

Never open a drawing that is stored on a floppy drive. Always copy the file to a hard drive.

 

As McSwain said NEVER, EVER open a dwg from a floppy - you will always be
asking for trouble. Copy it to your hard drive and open from there.

 

Now that he did open the file how can he fix the problem? I mean what should
he do to prevent AutoCAD recheck the A: drive ?

Copy the dwg to the hard drive, open it from there and saveas to the hard drive.
