• Before starting the ArcInfo command line session, turn off virus scanning software on the computer. An ArcInfo workspace is a single application directory, and concurrent access to files in the workspace by ArcInfo processes and virus scanning can trigger this error.
• Copying the coverage from the network location to the local hard drive has resolved this error for many customers.
  
  

  Warning:
  A coverage can only be copied using the ArcInfo Workstation COPY command, or using Copy and Paste in ArcCatalog.  Coverage data may not be copied using Windows Explorer.
