If you see the Window shown below with
the message in the form of a file: "DO NOT
PUT FILES HERE", the Xythos Drive was NOT
able to load due to network or other difficulties.
- DO NOT save files to this folder as
it is a TEMPORARY folder which is
NOT saved.
- If you are logging in to do a task that does
not involve saving a file (such
as reading email), you may proceed.
- If you will need to save a file, reboot
the machine or try a different
machine.
