Hello there,

    I am using stacker 2.0 for DOS and I have some problems. Everything was
running OK until I deleted some files with smartcan of Norton, the files I deleted
are not any system files or anything  that stacker is using or any files that dos
is using, and what happened smartcan kept on running without stopping. Then, I
rebooted the computer and I got the following error:

Stacker drive write protected

I got the DOS prompt without any problem but when I loaded windows, with Norton
as the shell, the computer freezes.

When I run the scheck on the stacker drive of stacker it tells me

Sector allocation map invalid

    Do you think the stacker volume file, the compressed file, is corrupted?
Is there anything we can do to fix this problem? What would happend if I try to
install stacker again, same version? Would it make any difference? I was planning
to try that but is it going to mess up anything?

    Does anybody have the telephone number of the company that developed
stacker? I had it but I cannot find it now. Also, is there any good book I can refer
to to get information about stacker besides the stacker manual?

    IS there any FAQ list for stacker problems?

    I would very much appreciate any relevant response.

Thanks,
