- 1. SETUP
- ========
-
- 1.1 SpeedStor
- -------------
- If Setup referred you to this section and your computer has an OS/2
- partition created by using the FDISKPM utility in OS/2 2.1, run
- MS-DOS Setup by typing SETUP /U at the command prompt.
-
- If Setup referred you to this section and you have neither OS/2
- nor a SpeedStor partition on your computer, see the section "Setup
- displays the Incompatible Hard Disk or Device Driver screen" in
- the "Diagnosing and Solving Problems" chapter of the MS-DOS
- User's Guide.
-
- If you do have a SpeedStor partition on your computer, Setup
- probably referred you to this section for one of the following
- reasons:
-
- * Setup could not find in your CONFIG.SYS file a command
- for the device driver that supports your SpeedStor partition.
- If this is the case, add the command line to your CONFIG.SYS
- file, restart your computer, and run Setup. For more information
- about adding the command line to your CONFIG.SYS file, see your
- SpeedStor documentation.
-
- * Your CONFIG.SYS file has a DEVICE=HARDRIVE.SYS line in it.
- If this is the case, carry out the following procedure:
-
- 1. Use the EXPAND command to expand and copy the SSTOR.SYS
- file to your hard disk. Make sure you copy the SSTOR.SYS
- file to the same path as the HARDRIVE.SYS file.
-
- See the PACKING.LST file on Setup Disk 1 for the location
- of the SSTOR.SYS file on the Setup disks and for instructions
- on how to expand and copy it to your hard disk.
-
- 2. Replace the DEVICE=HARDRIVE.SYS command with a DEVICE=SSTOR.SYS
- command. For example, if the command that loaded the
- HARDRIVE.SYS file was DEVICE=C:\SSTOR\HARDRIVE.SYS, you
- would replace it with DEVICE=C:\SSTOR\SSTOR.SYS.
-
- 3. Restart your computer.
-
- 4. Make sure you can access your hard disk.
-
- 5. Run Setup.
-
- 1.2 Incompatible Hard Disk or Device Driver
- -------------------------------------------
- If Setup referred you to this section, and no other section in this
- file is relevant to your system, you have a partition that is
- incompatible with MS-DOS 6.22. You must delete the partition from your
- hard disk. See "Using Fdisk to Configure Your Hard Disk" in the
- chapter "Diagnosing and Solving Problems" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS
- USER'S GUIDE.
-
- 1.3 AT&T 6300 Computer
- ----------------------
- If you use an AT&T 6300 computer and your ROM BIOS is version 1.21,
- contact your vendor for a ROM BIOS upgrade. The ROM BIOS version
- number is displayed when you start your computer.
-
- 1.4 Toshiba with a Hard RAM Disk
- --------------------------------
- These instructions apply to Toshiba models T1200, T1600,
- T1200XE and T1000LE.
-
- To use the hard RAM disk, carry out the following procedure
- before you install MS-DOS 6.22:
-
- 1. Back up your hard RAM disk.
-
- 2. Using the Toshiba Setup program, delete the hard RAM
- disk by allocating zero kilobytes (KB) to it. All data on
- the hard RAM disk will be lost.
-
- 3. Restart your computer
-
- 4. Run MS-DOS Setup.
-
- 5. After Setup is complete, run the Toshiba Setup program to reinstall
- the hard RAM disk.
-
- 6. Run FDISK, change to drive 2, and create a primary DOS
- partition. Quit FDISK.
-
- 7. Use the FORMAT command to format drive D.
-
- 1.5 Tandy with ROM DOS
- ----------------------
- Contact your hardware manufacturer for information about
- upgrading a Tandy computer with ROM DOS to MS-DOS 6.22. This
- applies to the following models: 1000EX, 1000HX, 1000SL, 1000SL2,
- 1000TL, 1000TL2, 1000TL3, 1000RL, 1000RLX, 1000RL-HD, 1000RLX-HD,
- 1100FD, 2500XL, 2500XL2.
-
- 1.6 Setup displays the "Your computer uses a disk-compression
- program that is incompatible with Setup" message.
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- If Setup indicated that your computer has an incompatible
- disk-compression program, you must remove it manually before you can
- install MS-DOS 6.22. Contact your disk-compression vendor for an
- updated version of your software. In most cases, current versions of
- disk-compression software are compatible with MS-DOS 6.22.
-
- Alternatively, you can use the procedure below to remove your
- current disk-compression software.
-
- 1. Back up all the files on your compressed drive. In step 3,
- you will format your uncompressed drive, which destroys all the files
- on your compressed and uncompressed drives.
-
- 2. If your Setup disks are compatible with drive A, insert
- Setup Disk 1 in drive A, and restart your computer. After Setup
- displays the first screen, quit Setup by pressing F3 twice.
-
- If your Setup disks are not compatible with drive A,
- create a startup floppy disk for drive A. To do this, insert
- Setup Disk 1 in drive B, and a blank floppy disk in drive A. Then
- type B:SETUP /F at the command prompt.
-
- When prompted, choose to install MS-DOS on the floppy disk
- in drive A. After Setup is finished, leave the disk in drive A,
- and restart your computer.
-
- 3. At the command prompt, type FORMAT C: /S to reformat your startup
- drive and transfer MS-DOS 6.22 system files to it.
-
- 4. Remove the disk from drive A, and restart your computer.
-
- 5. Insert Setup Disk 1 in drive A or B, and type A:SETUP or
- B:SETUP at the command prompt.
-
- 6. After Setup is complete, restore the files you backed up. Do
- not restore older versions of MS-DOS files.
-
- 1.7 You deleted files from the directory that Setup needs
- to install the optional Windows programs.
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- If you typed BUSETUP /E at the command prompt, the "Setup did
- not find the files it needs in the directory specified" message
- appeared, and you think you deleted the files from
- your hard disk, insert Setup Disk 1 in drive A or B, and start
- Setup by typing A:SETUP /E or B:SETUP /E at the command prompt.
-
- 1.8 Running Setup if Your Computer Uses Windows NT
- --------------------------------------------------
- If your computer has Windows NT installed, but does not have
- MS-DOS installed on it, carry out Procedure 1. If your computer
- has Windows NT and MS-DOS installed on it, carry out Procedure 2.
-
- Procedure 1
-
- 1. Run Setup by inserting Setup Disk 1 in drive A and restarting
- your computer. Complete Setup by following the instructions
- on the screen. When Setup is complete, Windows NT will be
- disabled.
-
- If Windows NT was installed on a FAT partition, complete steps
- 2 and 3 of this procedure to reenable Windows NT so that you can
- use both the Windows NT and MS-DOS operating systems.
-
- If Windows NT was installed on a non-FAT partition, see section 1.9.
-
- 2. Insert your Windows NT Setup disk in drive A or drive B, and then
- restart your computer.
-
- 3. When the Windows NT Setup screen appears, choose Repair, and then
- insert your Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk (which you created when
- you installed Windows NT) to repair the Windows NT system files.
-
-
- Procedure 2
-
- 1. When you start your computer, choose MS-DOS as your operating
- system.
-
- 2. Run Setup by inserting Setup Disk 1 in drive A or B, and typing
- A:SETUP or B:SETUP at the command prompt.
-
-
- 1.9 Setup detects that your computer has a non-MS-DOS
- partition or non-MS-DOS files, and your computer uses
- Windows NT
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- The procedure you use depends on whether you want to preserve
- the partition and its files. Find the section below that describes
- the configuration you want.
-
- You Don't Want to Preserve the Partition or its Files
- ------------------------------------------------------
- If you don't want to preserve the partition or its files, choose to
- remove the partition or files if Setup prompts you to do so. If
- Setup doesn't offer you that choice, remove the partition manually
- after Setup is complete. For instructions on removing a non-MS-DOS
- partition manually, see "Using Fdisk to Configure Your Hard Disk" in
- the chapter "Diagnosing and Solving Problems" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS
- USER'S GUIDE.
-
- You Don't Want to Preserve the Partition but Want to Save its Files
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you want to save the data files, but don't want to preserve the
- partition, back up the files, run Setup again, and then choose to
- remove the partition or files if Setup prompts you to do so. If Setup
- doesn't offer you this choice, remove the partition manually after
- Setup is complete. For instructions on removing the partition
- manually, see "Using Fdisk to Configure Your Hard Disk" in the
- chapter "Diagnosing and Solving Problems" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS
- USER'S GUIDE.
-
- You Want to Preserve the Partition and Its Files
- ------------------------------------------------
- Carry out the following procedure.
-
- NOTE If the non-MS-DOS partition takes up all the space on your hard
- disk, you must reconfigure your hard disk. You can either let Setup do
- it for you, as described in the preceding section, or reconfigure it
- yourself manually. For instructions on reconfiguring your hard disk
- manually, see your Windows NT documentation.
-
- To install MS-DOS 6.22 and preserve your partition or files:
-
- 1. Run MS-DOS Setup.
-
- 2. When prompted, choose to continue Setup without removing the
- partition or files.
-
- 3. After Setup is complete, insert your Windows NT Setup disk
- in drive A or drive B, and then restart your computer.
-
- 4. When the Windows NT Setup screen appears, choose Repair, and then
- insert your Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk (which you created when
- you installed Windows NT) to repair the Windows NT system files.
-
-
- 1.10 Setup displays the "Your computer uses password protection"
- screen.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- See section 1.12.
-
- 1.11 Setup displays the "Your computer is using an incompatible
- delete-protection program" screen.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- See section 1.12.
-
- 1.12 Setup detects that your computer uses DR DOS.
- --------------------------------------------------
- If you have DR DOS installed on your computer, take the following
- precautions before restarting Setup:
-
- o If your system has any security features, including password protection,
- disable them. For more information, see "Setup displays the 'Your
- computer uses password protection' screen" in the chapter "Diagnosing
- and Solving Problems" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE.
-
- If you have protected any files or directories with a password,
- remove the password protection, particularly if you have protected
- your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files, or your DR DOS directory.
-
- o If you have DELWATCH installed on your computer, carry out
- the procedure "Setup displays the 'Your computer is using an
- incompatible delete-protection program' screen" in the chapter
- "Diagnosing and Solving Problems" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS
- USER'S GUIDE.
-
- o If your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files use any conditional commands--
- such as the "?" or GOTO commands--remove them and adjust the order of
- commands in your startup files accordingly.
-
- o If your CONFIG.SYS file uses the CHAIN command, remove it and
- adjust the order of commands in the file accordingly.
-
- o If your computer uses disk compression, but drive C is not compressed,
- run Setup as described in the chapter "Getting Started" in the
- MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE. When Setup displays the "Your
- CONFIG.SYS file contains commands that are not valid MS-DOS commands"
- message, choose the "Modify original files" option.
-
- If drive C is compressed, carry out the following procedure:
-
- 1. Determine which drive is your original uncompressed drive. For more
- information, see your DR DOS documentation.
-
- 2. Make backup copies of the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on your
- compressed drive, and the DCONFIG.SYS file on your uncompressed drive.
-
- 3. Combine the two configuration files. For example, if drive D is your
- uncompressed drive, type the following at the command prompt:
-
- COPY D:\DCONFIG.SYS+C:\CONFIG.SYS D:\CONFIG.SYS
-
- 4. Copy the combined CONFIG.SYS file to drive C. For example, if drive
- D is your uncompressed drive, type the following at the command
- prompt:
-
- COPY D:\CONFIG.SYS C:\CONFIG.SYS
-
- 5. Copy your AUTOEXEC.BAT to your uncompressed drive. For example, if
- drive D is your uncompressed drive, type the following at the
- command prompt:
-
- COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT D:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
-
- 6. Run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup.
-
- 7. When Setup displays the "Your CONFIG.SYS file contains commands
- that are not valid MS-DOS commands" message, choose the "Modify
- original files" option.
-
- When Setup displays the "Because you are currently using the
- DR DOS operating system" message, choose Continue.
-
- 8. After Setup is complete, MS-DOS displays an "Unrecognized command"
- message on your screen for each command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT and
- CONFIG.SYS files that is not a valid MS-DOS command. Remove these
- commands from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
-
- 9. Add the DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS command to the beginning of your
- CONFIG.SYS file, and the restart your computer.
-
- 1.13 Installing MS-DOS on a Drive Other Than C
- ----------------------------------------------
- As described in the following procedure, you can install MS-DOS
- on a drive other than C by using the /M switch to copy the system
- files to your startup drive and then using the /Q switch to copy your
- MS-DOS files to a different drive.
-
- NOTE This procedure is designed for advanced users. If your computer
- uses disk-compression software, modify the procedure as appropriate.
-
- NOTE If your computer uses disk-partitioning software, such as Disk
- Manager, SpeedStor, Priam, or Everex, do not carry out the procedure until
- you have carried out steps 1 through 3 of "You need to install MS-DOS
- manually" in the chapter "Diagnosing and Solving Problems" in the
- MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE. If your software uses a driver to
- enable the drive on which you want to install MS-DOS, make sure you create
- a startup disk with the driver in a CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- After you have carried out these steps, skip to step 3 of the following
- procedure.
-
- 1. Run Setup by inserting Setup Disk 1 in drive A or B, and
- typing A:SETUP /M or B:SETUP /M at the command prompt.
-
- NOTE Your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files were saved as CONFIG.NEW
- and AUTOEXEC.NEW.
-
- 2. Run Setup by inserting Setup Disk 1 in drive A or B, and typing
- A:SETUP /Q or B:SETUP /Q at the command prompt. Follow the
- instructions on your screen.
-
- 3. When Setup displays the system settings screen, choose the MS-DOS
- Path option. Type the drive and directory where you want
- to install MS-DOS, and press ENTER. Continue Setup.
-
- 4. After Setup is complete, open your CONFIG.NEW and AUTOEXEC.NEW files
- and ensure that their commands specify the correct path. Save the files
- as CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Then restart your computer.
-
- 1.14 Bypassing the Uninstall Disk and Using Default Setup Options
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- To keep Setup from creating an Uninstall Disk, use the /G switch
- with the Setup command.
-
- To bypass the Uninstall disk and use default Setup options
- instead of choosing them yourself, use both the /H and /G switches
- with the Setup command.
-
- WARNING The primary purpose of the Uninstall disk is to safeguard
- your files during and after Setup. If Setup doesn't create
- an Uninstall disk, you will not be able to restore your previous
- version of DOS. If Setup should render your hard disk inaccessible,
- you will not be able to use the Uninstall disk to make it accessible
- again.
-
- IMPORTANT If you have not created an Uninstall disk and Setup cannot
- complete, do not try to use your computer except as directed by
- Microsoft Product Support Services. Otherwise, you could lose data.
-
- NOTE If you have a version of MS-DOS earlier than 5.0, and you plan
- to use the /G switch or the /H and /G switches together, follow the
- instructions in the NETWORKS.TXT file to update your network software
- before running Setup.
-
- 1.15 Installing MS-DOS 6.22 on a System with a CorelSCSI UNI_ASP.SYS Driver
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If your system uses the CorelSCSI UNI_ASP.SYS device driver for optical
- drives, and Setup stops running when you try to install MS-DOS 6,
- delete the DEVICE command in your CONFIG.SYS that loads the Corel
- UNI_ASP.SYS driver. Then run Setup again. After Setup is complete,
- reinstall the Corel UNI_ASP.SYS driver as you originally installed it.
- If you continue to have problems, contact Corel Customer Service.
-
- 1.16 Installing MS-DOS 6.22 if you have DrivePro or EZ-Drive
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- If Setup detects that your hard disk was set up using Micro House
- DrivePro(tm) or EZ-Drive(tm), you must run the DOS6INST.EXE program
- before you can safely install MS-DOS 6.22. The DOS6INST.EXE program
- is provided on the Micro House diskette; it is also available on
- the Micro House BBS at (303)443-9957. For further assistance,
- contact Micro House Technical Support.
-
- 1.17 Setup displays the "There is not enough free disk space" screen
- and you are running PC-DOS version 6.1 with compression
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- If your computer is running PC-DOS version 6.1 with PC-DOS disk
- compression, when you run MS-DOS Setup, it displays the message
- "There is not enough free disk space on drive C to install MS-DOS."
-
- PC-DOS disk compression is incompatible with MS-DOS. Before you
- install MS-DOS 6.22, you must first uninstall your PC-DOS disk
- compression from all your compressed drives and then completely
- remove PC-DOS disk compression. For more information, see "Upgrading
- from PC-DOS 6.1" later in this file.
-
- Note: If you have completely uninstalled PC-DOS compression and this
- message still occurs, you also need to free some space on drive C.
-
- 1.18 Setup cannot update a file
- --------------------------------
- If Setup cannot update one of your MS-DOS files, it displays a message
- with the title "Cannot Update File." If you continued Setup, your MS-DOS
- 6.22 installation is incomplete because the specified file was not updated
- to version 6.22. If the file is one you know you don't need (for example,
- if it's a DoubleSpace file and you don't use DoubleSpace), don't worry
- about it. (If you are running PC-DOS 6.1, see section 1.20 of this file).
- If you are not sure, update the file using the following procedure (you
- will need your MS-DOS 6.0 distribution disks):
-
- 1. If you use DoubleSpace and the file that was not updated was a
- DoubleSpace file, or if your system does not work properly after
- you receive this error message, insert your Uninstall disk in
- drive A and type A:\UNINSTAL at the command prompt.
-
- 2. Insert MS-DOS 6.0 Setup Disk 1 (not MS-DOS 6.22 Setup Disk 1) in
- drive A or drive B, and then use MS-DOS Editor (EDIT) to view
- the contents of the PACKING.LST file. This file tells you where each
- file is located on your MS-DOS 6.0 disks. Determine which MS-DOS 6.0 disk
- contains the file you need.
-
- 3. Insert the appropriate MS-DOS 6 disk in drive A or drive B, and then
- use the EXPAND command to expand the file. For example, to expand the
- file DRVSPACE.BI_ from the disk in drive A to the directory C:\DOS,
- you would type the following command:
-
- EXPAND A:\DRVSPACE.BI_ C:\DOS\DRVSPACE.BIN
-
- For more information, see the comments at the beginning of the PACKING.LST
- file, or see the MS-DOS 6 User's Guide.
-
- 4. Run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup again. This time, Setup should be able to update the
- file.
-
- 1.19 Upgrading from PC-DOS 6.1
- ------------------------------
- If your computer is running PC-DOS version 6.1 with PC-DOS disk
- compression, you cannot install MS-DOS 6.22 until you remove the
- disk compression. This is because PC-DOS disk compression is
- incompatible with MS-DOS. Follow these steps:
-
- 1. First, uninstall your PC-DOS disk compression from all your
- compressed drives. (For information on uncompressing PC-DOS
- compressed drives, see the information on the SSUNCOMP command
- in the PC-DOS documentation.)
-
- 2. When SSUNCOMP uncompresses your last compressed drive, it asks
- if you want to disable the driver. Answer Yes to remove the
- PC-DOS version of the DRVSPACE.BIN file.
-
- 3. Change to the directory that contains your PC-DOS files, and
- then type the following command:
-
- DEL DRVSPACE.*
-
- 4. Insert MS-DOS 6.22 Setup Disk 1 in drive A or drive B, and then
- type A:SETUP or B:SETUP.
-
-
- 1.20 Changes to International Keyboard and Character Set Support
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- MS-DOS 6.22 includes new codepage information files EGA2.CPI,
- EGA3.CPI and ISO.CPI, as well as the new KEYBRD2.SYS file, which
- offers additional keyboards. MS-DOS also includes new country settings
- in COUNTRY.SYS.
-
- For details about enhancements to the international keyboard and codepage
- (character set) support, see the COUNTRY.TXT file, which is located in
- the directory that contains your MS-DOS files.

-
- 2. MEMMAKER AND MEMORY MANAGEMENT
- =================================
-
- 2.1 Intel Expanded-Memory Driver (EMM.SYS)
- ------------------------------------------
- If you use Intel's EMM.SYS driver with Aboveboard, use EMM.SYS
- version 4.0 revision E if you an ISA system, or EMM.SYS version 4.0
- revision D if you have an MCA or other system. Contact Intel for a
- free upgrade.
-
- 2.2 Running MemMaker on a Computer with PC-NFS
- ----------------------------------------------
- If you use PC-NFS network software, carry out the following procedure
- before you run MemMaker:
-
- 1. Open your MEMMAKER.INF file by using any text editor. This file is
- in the directory that contains your MS-DOS files.
-
- 2. Add the following line to the file:
-
- *NET
-
- 3. Save the file, and then run MemMaker.
-
- 2.3 You have a Super VGA display and want to conserve memory.
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- If you use Microsoft Windows on an 80386 computer with extended
- memory and a Super VGA display, you can use the MONOUMB.386 file, in
- conjunction with MemMaker, to conserve conventional memory for
- running programs.
-
- To conserve memory if you have a Super VGA display:
-
- 1. Open your Windows SYSTEM.INI file, and find the [386Enh] section.
-
- 2. Add a DEVICE command for the MONOUMB.386 file, which is located
- in your MS-DOS directory. For example, if your MS-DOS files are in
- C:\DOS, add the following line to this section:
-
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\MONOUMB.386
-
- 3. Save the file, and restart your computer.
-
- 4. After your computer starts, run MemMaker by typing MEMMAKER at the
- command prompt.
-
- 5. Choose Custom Setup. On the Advanced Options screen, answer Yes to
- the question "Use monochrome region (B000-B7FF) for running programs?"
-
- Follow the instructions on your screen.
-
- 2.4 Using MemMaker with IBM LAN
- -------------------------------
- Before you run MemMaker, you might need to make adjustments to the
- parameters specified for your IBM LAN support driver, DXMC0MOD.SYS. In
- your CONFIG.SYS file, make sure that the DEVICE command that loads
- DXMC0MOD.SYS includes one of the following before you run MemMaker:
-
- o The first three parameters, as in the following example:
-
- DEVICE=C:\DXMC0MOD.SYS 400000000001,D800,1
-
- o No parameters, as in the following example:
-
- DEVICE=C:\DXMC0MOD.SYS
-
- o Some parameters and enough commas to fill in the first three
- parameters, as in the following example:
-
- DEVICE=C:\DXMC0MOD.SYS 400000000001,,
-
- 2.5 MemMaker and Adaptec SCSI devices
- -------------------------------------
- MemMaker is compatible with Adaptec SCSI devices. However, if you use
- the ASPI4DOS.SYS driver to support your SCSI device, MemMaker by default
- will exclude this driver from the optimization process. If you don't
- use the SCSI device as your startup or boot drive, you can include the
- ASPI4DOS.SYS driver in the optimization process. To do so, remove the
- ^ASPI4DOS entry in the MEMMAKER.INF file, and then run MemMaker.
-
- 2.6 Using MemMaker on a computer with PC Tools or PC-DOS RAMBoost
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- You can use MemMaker or RAMBoost with MS-DOS, but not both at the
- same time. MemMaker will prevent RAMBoost from loading, but not
- remove its DEVICE= command from your CONFIG.SYS.
-
- 2.7 EMM386 detects an error in an application
- ---------------------------------------------
- If EMM386 displays a message such as "EMM386 has detected error
- #12 in an application," this indicates that the processor
- has reported an exception error to EMM386. An exception error
- typically occurs when an application gives the processor an
- instruction under invalid or unexpected conditions. In most cases,
- these errors are related to a specific program. If you are receiving
- an error that does not occur with any particular application, the
- error might be caused by a device driver or a memory-resident
- (terminate-and-stay-resident) program.
-
- To avoid these errors:
-
- o Try to identify the program involved. One way to do this is
- to see if the error occurs when the program is not running.
- If you suspect a memory-resident program or device driver,
- try bypassing it when your computer starts.
-
- o Try disabling EMM386. If a particular application is to blame,
- disabling EMM386 might allow that application to generate an
- error message. Disabling EMM386 might also change
- your memory configuration so that the error no longer occurs.
-
- o Try changing the order in which you load device drivers and
- memory-resident programs. This might help because some
- errors occur only under specific memory conditions.
-
- o If error 12 is occurring, this indicates that a stack is being used
- incorrectly. Try adding the following command to your CONFIG.SYS
- file:
-
- STACKS=18,512
-
- o If error 13 is occurring, the program may be trying to use protected
- mode without cooperating with EMM386. You may need to obtain a
- VCPI-compliant version of the program, or not load EMM386 when
- using this application.
-
- 2.8 MemMaker no longer aggressively scans upper memory by default
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- By default, the MS-DOS 6.22 version of MemMaker does not scan upper
- memory aggressively. Instead, the MemMaker option "Scan the upper
- memory area aggressively?" is set to No, and MemMaker limits its search
- for available UMBs to memory addresses C600 through EFFF. In contrast,
- the MS-DOS 6 version of MemMaker did scan upper memory aggressively
- by default: in addition to scanning memory in the C600-EFFF range,
- it also scanned addresses in the range F000 through F7FF.
-
- To make more memory available for running programs, run MemMaker in
- Custom mode and change the "Scan the upper memory area aggressively?"
- option to Yes. (Note that, on some computers, putting UMBs in this
- range prevents the computer from starting properly.)
-
- Note: If you last ran MemMaker with the "Scan the upper memory
- area aggresively" option set to Yes, then the next time
- you run MemMaker, it leaves that option set to Yes.
-
-
- 3. WINDOWS
- ==========
-
- 3.1 Your computer uses a Windows 3.0 permanent swap file.
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- If your computer uses a Windows 3.0 permanent swap file, run
- the SPATCH.BAT program to make the swap file compatible with MS-DOS 6.
- To do so, carry out the following procedure:
-
- 1. Copy the SPATCH.BAT file to your hard disk. To determine the location of
- the file on the Setup disks, view the PACKING.LST file on Setup Disk
- 1.
-
- 2. Type the following at the command prompt:
-
- SPATCH [DRIVE]:[PATH]SWAPFILE.EXE
-
- For the DRIVE and PATH parameters, specify the location of
- your SWAPFILE.EXE file.
-
- 3. Follow the instructions on your screen.
-
- The program modifies the SWAPFILE.EXE for use with MS-DOS 6
- and saves a backup copy as SWAPFILE.SAV. After you have confirmed
- the file works correctly, you can delete the SWAPFILE.SAV file.
-
- 3.2 Using compressed floppy disks with Windows File Manager
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- If you are using compressed floppy disks with automounting enabled,
- you might encounter error messages or other problems while using File
- Manager. To work around these problems, press the F5 key twice.
-
- For example, if you change from a compressed to an uncompressed floppy
- disk, the drive button for the compressed floppy disk's host drive
- remains until you press the F5 key twice.
-
-
- 4. HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY WITH MS-DOS
- =====================================
-
- 4.1 Compaq EXTDISK.SYS Driver
- -----------------------------
- The Compaq EXTDISK.SYS driver version 3.00 or later is
- compatible with MS-DOS 6. If you have a version earlier
- than 3.00, contact your vendor for an upgrade.
-
- 4.2 Hardcard
- ------------
- If you upgraded your system from MS-DOS 6 or 6.2, your system
- uses its Hardcard drive as its startup drive, and you want to use
- DoubleSpace on that drive, see section 7.18. For additional
- Hardcard information, see the following:
-
- a) Hardcard II
-
- If you can't use Plus Development Hardcard II or Hardcard
- II XL when running EMM386.EXE, specify the exclude (x=)
- switch to prevent EMM386 from conflicting with the card's
- BIOS address.
-
- To configure EMM386, run MemMaker.
-
- b) Hardcard 40 or Passport
-
- If you are using Hardcard 40 or a Passport removable
- disk, and you have a DEVICE command in your CONFIG.SYS file
- for PLUSDRV.SYS, disable or remove the DEVICE command.
- Then run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup. After Setup is complete, reenable or
- restore the DEVICE command for PLUSDRV.SYS. Make it the last line
- in the file.
-
- c) If you upgraded your system from MS-DOS 6 or 6.2, installed
- DoubleSpace on your Hardcard, and are now unable to access your
- newly compressed drive, try the following:
-
- 1) Add a DRVSPACE /MOUNT command to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to mount
- the compressed volume file on the Hardcard every time you start
- your computer.
-
- 2) Or, ensure that there is at least one device driver (for example,
- ANSI.SYS) loaded in your CONFIG.SYS file AFTER the ATDOSXL.SYS
- driver but BEFORE the DRVSPACE.SYS driver.
-
- 4.3 Toshiba
- -----------
- If you used the MS-DOS 5.0 version of EMM386 before you ran
- Setup, and you use the Power Management function, use
- the VRESUME program or device driver to avoid problems with
- the Resume feature. Carry out the following procedure:
-
- 1. Make sure the VRESUME.COM or VRESUME.SYS file is on your hard disk.
- To load the TSR, add a command for VRESUME.COM to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
- To load the device driver, add a command for the VRESUME.SYS file to
- your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- 2. Save the file, and restart your computer.
-
- NOTE For information about using VRESUME with Windows 3.0, see the
- WRESUME.TXT file on your Toshiba MS-DOS 5.0 disks.
-
- 5. MICROSOFT BACKUP, DEFRAG AND ANTI-VIRUS
- ==========================================
-
- 5.1 Microsoft Anti-Virus
- ------------------------
- Before cleaning a program file, make sure you have a backup copy of it.
- If you clean a program file, and the program is corrupted, reinstall the
- program. If Anti-Virus again detects a virus, there is a chance the
- detection is in error; contact your software vendor to determine if an
- updated version of the program is available.
-
- 5.2 Running Microsoft Backup for MS-DOS under Windows
- -----------------------------------------------------
- You should not run Backup for MS-DOS while Windows is running. Use
- Backup for Windows instead (Backups created using Backup for Windows
- can be restored using Backup for MS-DOS). If you do not have Backup
- for Windows installed, see "Installing Anti-Virus, Backup, and Undelete
- after Setup" in the "Getting Started" chapter of the Microsoft MS-DOS
- USER'S GUIDE.
-
- 5.3 Backup for Windows stops running at the end of the compatibility test
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If Backup for Windows stops running at the end of the Compatibility
- Test, you might be loading an incompatible third-party backup driver
- in your SYSTEM.INI file. Carry out the following procedure.
-
- NOTE This procedure disables your third-party backup program.
-
- 1. Open your SYSTEM.INI file, and locate the [386Enh] section.
-
- 2. Determine whether any of the following lines are included in this
- section:
-
- DEVICE=FASTBACK.386
- DEVICE=VFD.386
- DEVICE=CPBVXD.386
- DEVICE=VIRWT.386
-
- 3. If you find any of these lines, add a semicolon (;) to the front
- of the line.
-
- 4. Save the file, restart Windows, and run Backup for Windows again.
-
- 5.4 Running Microsoft Backup with TI4000 and Gateway NOMAD computers
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- To avoid a conflict between the Turbo feature and Microsoft Backup
- for Windows or MS-DOS, add a /L0 switch to the DEVICE command in
- your CONFIG.SYS that loads the BATTERY.PRO file. Or, before you
- run Microsoft Backup, type SETPOWER /L0 at the command prompt.
-
- 5.5 Using MS-DOS 6.22 Backup to Restore MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Backups
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- Like earlier versions of MS-DOS Backup, the Backup programs included
- with MS-DOS 6.22 support data compression during backup.
- However, the MS-DOS 6.22 Backup programs use a different compression
- format from earlier versions of Backup.
-
- Because of this, MS-DOS 6.22 Backup for Windows (MWBACKUP.EXE) cannot
- restore compressed backups created by MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 Backup. To
- restore such backups, use MS-DOS 6.22 Backup for MS-DOS (MSBACKUP.EXE),
- or use the version of Backup that created the compressed backups. For
- information about restoring a previous version of Backup, see the
- following section.
-
- MS-DOS 6.22 Backup for MS-DOS (MSBACKUP.EXE) can restore earlier compressed
- backups only if one of the following conditions is true:
-
- * DoubleSpace is installed (DBLSPACE.BIN is loaded in memory).
-
- * The files DBLSPACE.BIN and DRVSPACE.MR1 are available. For more
- information on DRVSPACE.MR1, see section 7.28.
-
- Both MSBACKUP.EXE and MWBACKUP.EXE can successfully restore MS-DOS
- version 6, 6.2 and 6.21 backups made without backup data compression
- If you unchecked the Compress Backup Data box in the Backup Options
- dialog before you backed up, you should have no problems restoring your
- data using the MS-DOS version 6.22 Backup programs.
-
- Restoring a Previous Version of Microsoft Backup
- ------------------------------------------------
- When you run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup, it installs the 6.22 version of the
- Backup program(s). The following procedures explain how to re-install
- the MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 version of Backup for MS-DOS. The procedure you
- use differs depending on the size of your MS-DOS 6 or 6.2 disks.
- (The commands in these procedures assume that your Setup disks are
- in drive A and your MS-DOS files are located in the C:\DOS directory;
- if the disks or MS-DOS files are in a different drive or location,
- adjust the commands accordingly.)
-
- If you have MS-DOS 6.2 disks (either 1.2 MB or 1.44 MB disks) or
- MS-DOS 6 disks (1.2 MB disks only):
-
- 1. Insert Setup Disk 1 in drive A.
-
- 2. Type the following commands:
-
- COPY A:*.OVL C:\DOS
- EXPAND A:MSBACKUP.EXE C:\DOS
- EXPAND A:MSBACKUP.HLP C:\DOS
- EXPAND A:MSBCONFG.HLP C:\DOS
-
- If you are using MS-DOS 6 disks (1.44 MB disks only):
-
- 1. Insert Setup Disk 2 in drive A.
-
- 2. Type the following commands:
-
- EXPAND A:MSBACKUP.EXE C:\DOS
- COPY A:*.OVL C:\DOS
-
- 3. Insert Setup Disk 3 in drive A.
-
- 4. Type the following commands:
-
- COPY A:*.OVL C:\DOS
- EXPAND A:MSBACKUP.HLP C:\DOS
- EXPAND A:MSBCONFG.HLP C:\DOS
-
- These commands copy Backup's files from drive A to the C:\DOS
- directory. If Setup Disk 1 is in drive B, or if your MS-DOS files
- are located in a directory other than C:\DOS, you should adjust
- the commands accordingly.
-
- 5.6 Microsoft Defragmenter
- --------------------------
- If you received the "Insufficient Memory" message from Microsoft
- Defragmenter, use the MEM command to determine how much conventional,
- upper, and extended (XMS) memory is available. In addition to using
- all available conventional memory, Defragmenter can make use of up
- to 384K of extended memory and 12K of upper memory.
-
- To increase available memory, carry out the procedures in "An MS-DOS
- program displays an out-of-memory message" in the chapter "Diagnosing
- and Solving Problems" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE.
-
- If less than 384K of extended memory is available, carry out
- the procedures in "Freeing Extended Memory" in the "Making More
- Memory Available" chapter in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S GUIDE.
-
-
- 6. THIRD-PARTY PROGRAMS
- =======================
-
- 6.1 4DOS and NDOS
- -----------------
- 4DOS and NDOS are compatible with MS-DOS 6. However, to use some of the
- new features in MS-DOS 6.22 (such as MemMaker, the LOADHIGH /L switch,
- DIR compression switches, and the ability to bypass startup commands),
- contact JP Software to obtain 4DOS 4.02 or later, or Symantec to obtain
- Norton Utilities 7.0 or later.
-
- If you use multiple configurations, 4DOS or NDOS will not automatically
- run your AUTOEXEC.BAT file unless you include a /P on the SHELL line in
- your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- To use MS-DOS 6.22 Help instead of 4DOS or NDOS Help, start it by using
- COMMAND /C HELP, or define a 4DOS or NDOS alias to run HELP.COM from
- your MS-DOS 6.2 directory.
-
- 6.2 Above Board 286 and Above Board Plus Installation
- Programs
- -----------------------------------------------------
- Do not use an Above Board installation program dated May 1989
- or earlier until you disable programs that use extended memory,
- such as SMARTDrive or RAMDrive. You might lose data if you leave
- these programs enabled. After you have installed Above Board,
- you can reenable these programs.
-
- 6.3 CodeView
- -----------
- CAUTION Using versions 3.0 to 3.13 of the CodeView CV.EXE
- file may cause data loss if your system has an 80386 memory
- manager (such as EMM386.EXE) and device drivers or programs
- that use extended memory. To determine which version you
- have, type CV.EXE at the command prompt.
-
- 6.4 Colorado Tape Backup
- ------------------------
- If you receive a message that you have two versions of the
- VFINTD.386 file loaded, you probably need to edit your
- SYSTEM.INI file. To do so, carry out the following procedure:
-
- 1. Open your SYSTEM.INI file and locate the [386Enh] section.
- You should see two lines similar to the following:
-
- DEVICE=C:\TAPE\CMSDTAPE.386
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\VFINTD.386
-
- 2. If you plan to use your Colorado Tape Backup program, add a semi-
- colon (;) before the DEVICE command for the VFINTD.386 file. If you
- plan to use Microsoft Backup, add a semi-colon before the DEVICE
- command for the CMSDTAPE.386 file.
-
- 3. Save the file, and restart Windows.
-
- 6.5 Fastback Plus
- -----------------
- If you have a version of Fifth Generation Systems Fastback Pluse earlier
- than 3.0, use the LOADFIX command before running Fastback Plus or the
- Fastback Plus installation program to ensure that you don't lose data. To
- do so, type the following at the command prompt:
-
- LOADFIX FB.EXE
-
- or
-
- LOADFIX FBINSTAL.EXE
-
- 6.6 Norton Desktop for Windows 2.0
- ----------------------------------
- Setup adds a second Tools menu which contains Microsoft Backup and
- Antivirus commands (if you installed these Windows programs),
- as well as a Compression Info command (if DoubleSpace or DriveSpace
- is installed).
-
- If you use compress the drive that contains SmartCan, you might
- experience system problems afterward. To correct this, reinstall
- Norton Desktop for Windows.
-
- For information about using Norton AntiVirus in conjunction with
- DoubleSpace or DriveSpace, see the following section.
-
- 6.7 Norton Utilities
- --------------------
- Norton Speed Disk and Norton Disk Doctor versions 8.0 and earlier will
- not run on DriveSpace drives. For an updated version of these Norton
- utilities, contact your software vendor.
-
- The "Clear Space" option of Norton Speed Disk (prior to version 7.0)
- is incompatible with DoubleSpace drives and DriveSpace drives. For
- an updated version of Norton Speed Disk, contact your software vendor.
-
- Do not use the WipeInfo utility (prior to version 8.0) on compressed
- drives. It can cause lost clusters. If you have already used this
- option, use the SCANDISK command to fix the lost clusters.
-
- If Norton AntiVirus is running when you compress the drive that
- contains the NAV_.SYS file, a copy of the NAV_.SYS file remains
- on the host drive. This prevents Norton AntiVirus from reporting a
- virus infection during the compression process. After the compression
- process is complete, you can safely delete the copy of NAV_.SYS on
- the host drive.
-
- If you use the Norton Cache or Speedrive utilities, load the utility
- after the DEVICE command that loads DRVSPACE.SYS. For more information,
- see section 7.24.
-
- 6.8 PC Tools
- ------------
- If PC Shell does not show all of the files or directories on your drive,
- quit PC Shell immediately and contact Central Point Software for an update.
-
- CAUTION: Do not attempt to use PC Shell on that drive; severe data
- loss might occur. This problem affects both compressed and
- non-compressed drives.
-
- The DISKFIX /SCAN option in PC Tools can cause lost clusters on
- DriveSpace and DoubleSpace drives. Avoid using this option. (If you
- have already used this option, use ScanDisk to fix the lost clusters.)
-
- The COMPRESS command of PC Tools versions 6.0 and 5.5
- is incompatible with DoubleSpace and DriveSpace.
-
- 6.9 QEMM's Stealth DoubleSpace Feature
- ---------------------------------------
- The Stealth DoubleSpace feature of QEMM versions 7.03 and 7.04 are
- fully compatible with MS-DOS 6.22; these versions are available to all
- QEMM 7 users through online services such as CompuServe, BIX, and the
- QuarterDeck BBS, as well as directly from QuarterDeck Office Systems.
-
- The Stealth DoubleSpace driver (ST-DBL.SYS) included with version 7.02 is
- compatible with DoubleSpace, but not with DriveSpace, DEFRAG.EXE or
- automounting compressed floppies. If you use QEMM version 7.02, obtain an
- update from one of the online services listed above or from QuarterDeck
- Office Systems.
-
- The Stealth DoubleSpace driver (ST-DBL.SYS) included with version 7.01 is
- incompatible with MS-DOS 6.22 (both DriveSpace and DoubleSpace). If you use
- QEMM version 7.01 and your system does not start, see the following section.
-
- If you use the Stealth DoubleSpace feature of QEMM version 7.01
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- The Stealth DoubleSpace feature of QEMM 7.01 is incompatible with
- MS-DOS 6.22. If you are running DoubleSpace and use the Stealth DoubleSpace
- feature of QEMM version 7.01, your computer will not start properly.
-
- To work around this problem, press F8 when your computer starts.
- Answer Y to all prompts except the following:
-
- DEVICE=C:\QEMM\ST-DBL.SYS [Y/N]?
-
- When MS-DOS displays this prompt, answer N. (The pathname for
- ST-DBL.SYS may be different on your computer.) After your computer
- starts, edit your CONFIG.SYS file and make the following changes:
-
- * Disable the DEVICE command for ST-DBL.SYS by using the REM command.
-
- * If you use DoubleSpace, add a DEVICE command for DBLSPACE.SYS.
- For example:
-
- DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE
-
- (If you use DriveSpace, add a DEVICE command for DRVSPACE instead.)
-
- 6.10 Johnson Computer Systems PC-Vault and PC-Vault Plus
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- If you use version 4.6 or earlier of the PC-Vault or PC-Vault Plus
- hard disk protection system, do not use the Maximum Floppy
- Boot Protection option if you use DoubleSpace or DriveSpace.
-
- In these versions of PC-Vault and PC-Vault plus, the Maximum Floppy
- Boot Protection option is incompatible with DoubleSpace and DriveSpace,
- and may cause data loss. If your version of PC-Vault or PC-Vault Plus
- is earlier than 4.6, contact Johnson Computer Systems for an upgrade.
-
- 6.11 AddStor Double Tools
- --------------------------
- AddStor's Double Tools version 1.0 and 1.2 work only with DoubleSpace;
- they do not work with DriveSpace.
-
- AddStor's Double Tools version 1.0 works with MS-DOS 6.22 DoubleSpace
- as long as you do not install AddStor's enhanced DoubleSpace drivers.
- When you install Double Tools version 1.0, do not check the "Install
- enhanced DoubleSpace drivers" box. If you do, Double Tools will replace the
- MS-DOS 6.22 DBLSPACE.BIN file with the Double Tools version of DBLSPACE.BIN,
- which is compatible only with MS-DOS 6.0. The next time you start your
- computer, it will display the message "Wrong DBLSPACE.BIN version" and
- none of your compressed drives will be mounted.
-
- If you are using Double Tools version 1.0 or 1.2 with the enhanced
- DoubleSpace driver installed, you will not be able to run MS-DOS 6.22
- Setup. To solve this problem, run Double Tools' DTCONFIG.EXE program
- and choose the "Microsoft" (version 1.0) or "Standard" (version 1.2)
- option. Then save your changes, exit from DTCONFIG, and run MS-DOS
- 6.22 Setup again.
-
-
- 7. DRIVESPACE
- =============
- MS-DOS 6.22 includes DriveSpace compression software. DriveSpace appears
- similar to DoubleSpace, which was included with MS-DOS 6 and 6.2. The
- main difference is that DriveSpace stores compressed data in a different
- format from DoubleSpace.
-
- Note: If you upgraded from MS-DOS 6 or MS-DOS 6.2, you can still use
- DoubleSpace with MS-DOS 6.22. (If you upgraded from MS-DOS 5 or
- earlier, you do not have DoubleSpace on your system.)
-
- 7.1 Converting DoubleSpace Drives to DriveSpace
- -----------------------------------------------
- If you currently use DoubleSpace, you can continue using it with MS-DOS
- 6.22. Or, you can convert your system and all your DoubleSpace drives to
- DriveSpace.
-
- NOTE If you purchased the English version of the MS-DOS 6.22 Upgrade,
- you can obtain DoubleSpace conversion by sending in the enclosed
- coupon; if you purchased the MS-DOS 6.22 Step-Up or non-English
- version of MS-DOS 6.22, your version of MS-DOS 6.22 already includes
- DoubleSpace conversion.)
-
- To convert your system from DoubleSpace to DriveSpace:
-
- 1. Back up the data on each DoubleSpace drive, if you have not already
- done so.
-
- 2. Type DRVSPACE at the command prompt, and then follow the instructions
- on your screen.
-
- DriveSpace converts all mounted DoubleSpace drives to DriveSpace format,
- and also converts your system to run DriveSpace instead of DoubleSpace.
-
- NOTE The conversion process can take a long time, especially if your
- DoubleSpace drives contain a lot of data. You might want to plan
- to carry out the conversion process overnight.
-
- 7.2 Converting Your XtraDrive Disk-Compression Software
- to DriveSpace
- -------------------------------------------------------
- If your computer uses XtraDrive disk compression, use its
- uninstallation program to remove the compression, and then
- install DriveSpace.
-
- 7.3 Converting Stacker 3.1 Software to DriveSpace
- --------------------------------------------------
- If your drive has been compressed using Stacker version 3.1, carry
- out the following procedure to remove Stacker 3.1 and install
- DriveSpace. (If you use Stacker 2.x or 3.0 software, carry out
- the procedure in section 7.4 instead.)
-
- 1. Use Stacker's UNSTACK command to unstack all your Stacker drives.
- (If you have floppy disks compressed by using Stacker, either
- unstack them now or make sure they were configured using Stacker's
- StackerAnywhere feature.)
-
- 2. Change to the root directory of your startup hard disk drive,
- and then type the following commands:
-
- ATTRIB -R -H -S STACKER.INI
- ATTRIB -R -H -S DRVSPACE.BIN
- DEL STACKER.INI
- DEL DRVSPACE.BIN
-
- 3. Restart your computer.
-
- 4. Run DriveSpace Setup by typing DRVSPACE at the command prompt.
-
- 7.4 Converting Other Disk-Compression Software to DriveSpace
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- If you are not using Stacker 3.1 disk compression or XtraDrive
- disk compression, carry out the following procedure to convert
- your disk-compression software to DriveSpace.
-
- 1. Install MS-DOS 6.22 if you haven't already done so.
-
- 2. Use Microsoft Backup for MS-DOS to back up the files on your
- hard disk. If you didn't install Backup for MS-DOS during Setup,
- see the chapter "Getting Started" in the MICROSOFT MS-DOS USER'S
- GUIDE for instructions on installing it.
-
- 3. If your Setup disks are compatible with drive A, insert
- Setup Disk 1 in drive A, and restart your computer. After
- Setup displays the first screen, quit Setup by pressing F3 twice.
-
- If your Setup disks are not compatible with drive A,
- create a startup floppy disk for drive A. To do this, insert
- Setup Disk 1 in drive B, and a blank floppy disk in drive A.
- Then type B:SETUP /F at the command prompt.
-
- When prompted, choose to install MS-DOS on the floppy disk
- in drive A. After Setup is finished, leave the disk in drive A,
- and restart your computer.
-
- 4. Use the FORMAT command to format the drive that contains the
- file that contains all of your compressed files. If you don't know
- where this file is located, see your disk-compression documentation.
-
- If you are reformatting drive C, include the /S switch to transfer
- system files to it.
-
- 5. If you formatted drive C, make sure Setup Disk 1 is in drive A
- or B, and type A:SETUP or B:SETUP at the command prompt.
-
- Follow the instructions on your screen.
-
- 6. After Setup is complete, install DriveSpace by typing DRVSPACE
- at the command prompt. Follow the instructions on your screen.
-
- 7. Use Backup for MS-DOS to restore the files you backed up.
-
- NOTE When you run Microsoft Backup, you will have to configure it
- again. Also, you will need to retrieve the catalog file from your
- backup floppy disks. To do so, choose the Catalog button in the
- Restore dialog box.
-
- 7.5 DriveSpace Setup indicates that your computer is running an
- incompatible disk-caching program.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- If DriveSpace Setup displays a message indicating your computer is
- running an incompatible disk-caching program, open your CONFIG.SYS or
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and delete the command that loads your
- disk-caching program. If you want to use a disk cache, add a line for
- the MS-DOS 6.22 SMARTDRV program in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example,
- if your MS-DOS files are in a directory named DOS, add the following
- line:
-
- C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
-
- Quit your text editor, and restart your computer. Run DriveSpace again.
-
- 7.6 Your compressed drive runs out of disk space.
- -------------------------------------------------
- If your compressed drive runs out of free disk space, you can
- use the following techniques to free some space on the drive:
-
- o Enlarge that drive.
-
- o Carry out the DRVSPACE /DEFRAG /F and DRVSPACE /DEFRAG commands
- on that drive.
-
- The rest of this section explains each technique.
-
- Enlarging a Compressed Drive
- ----------------------------
- You can enlarge a compressed drive to make more space available on it.
- Enlarging a compressed drive uses free space on the uncompressed (host)
- drive.
-
- To enlarge the compressed drive:
-
- 1. Start the DriveSpace program by typing DRVSPACE at the command prompt.
-
- 2. Select the compressed drive you want to enlarge, and then choose
- the Change Size command from the Drive menu.
-
- The Change Size dialog box appears. The New Free Space line shows how
- much free space the compressed and uncompressed drives will have if you
- choose OK.
-
- 3. Specify a smaller number for New Free Space on the uncompressed
- drive. Notice that as you change this number, DriveSpace adjusts
- the New Free Space amount for the compressed drive. When the New Free
- Space amount for both drives is what you want, choose OK.
-
- DriveSpace enlarges the compressed drive.
-
- Carrying Out the DRVSPACE /DEFRAG /F and DRVSPACE /DEFRAG Commands
- on your Compressed Drive
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- You can sometimes free additional space on a compressed drive by
- more fully defragmenting the drive.
-
- NOTE You might want to carry out the following procedure overnight, since
- defragmenting a large or badly fragmented drive can take a long time.
- (To carry out the entire procedure overnight, create a batch file that
- contains both the commands in the procedure.)
-
- To free space by defragmenting the drive twice:
-
- 1. Make the compressed drive the current drive.
-
- 2. Type DEFRAG drive: /F at the command prompt
-
- Where drive: is the compressed drive. For example, DEFRAG C: /F.
- DEFRAG will fully defragment the drive's file allocation table,
- then start DRVSPACE /DEFRAG to consolidate the free space in
- the CVF.
-
- 3. When DEFRAG finishes, type DRVSPACE /DEFRAG /F at the command prompt.
-
- DriveSpace re-consolidates the free space on the drive so there
- is as much free space as possible.
-
- 7.7 Your uncompressed (host) drive runs out of disk space
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- If your uncompressed (host) drive runs out of free disk space, you
- can enlarge it by reducing the size of any compressed drives that are
- stored on that uncompressed drive. Of course, this will reduce the
- amount of free space on the compressed drive(s).
-
- To enlarge the uncompressed (host) drive:
-
- 1. Start the DriveSpace program by typing DRVSPACE at the command prompt.
-
- 2. Select the compressed drive whose size you want to reduce, and then
- choose the Change Size command from the Drive menu. (Select
- a compressed drive that is stored on the uncompressed drive that's
- out of space. To find out which compressed drives are stored
- on that uncompressed drive, type DRVSPACE /LIST at the command prompt.)
-
- The Change Size dialog box appears. The New Free Space line shows
- how much free space the compressed and uncompressed drives will have
- if you choose OK.
-
- 3. Specify a larger number for the New Free Space on the uncompressed
- drive. Notice that as you change this number, DriveSpace adjusts
- the New Free Space amount for the compressed drive. When the New Free
- Space amount for both drives is what you want, choose OK.
-
- DriveSpace reduces the size of the compressed drive, which makes
- more free space available on the corresponding uncompressed drive.
-
- 7.8 DriveSpace did not compress all of your files because
- the drive ran out of disk space.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- If DriveSpace indicates that it could not compress some
- of your files because there was not enough disk space, carry
- out the following procedure.
-
- 1. To determine which drive is your uncompressed drive, type
- DRVSPACE /LIST at the command prompt.
-
- 2. Using Microsoft Backup, back up to floppy disks the files
- on the uncompressed drive that were not compressed.
-
- 3. Delete the files on the uncompressed drive that were not compressed.
-
- 4. Type DRVSPACE at the command prompt.
-
- 5. From the Drive menu, choose Change Size.
-
- 6. To increase the size of your compressed drive, decrease the size
- of your uncompressed drive, and choose OK.
-
- 7. From the Drive menu, choose Exit, and use Backup to restore
- the files you backed up to your compressed drive. If you run out of
- space again, repeat steps 5 through 7 until the compressed drive
- is large enough.
-
- 7.9 Windows displays the message "The permanent swap file is corrupt."
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you use a Windows permanent swap file, it must be located on an
- uncompressed drive. If your permanent swap file is on a compressed
- drive, Windows displays the message "The permanent swap file is corrupt"
- when it starts.
-
- When you install DriveSpace, the DriveSpace Setup program checks for
- the existence of a Windows permanent swap file. If it finds one,
- DriveSpace Setup moves the swap file to your uncompressed drive.
- However, if you install Windows after installing DriveSpace, or if you use
- Control Panel to change the location of your permanent swap file, your
- swap file might end up on a compressed drive. (When you specify a drive
- for your permanent swap file, Windows allows you to choose a compressed
- drive.)
-
- To move your permanent swap file to an uncompressed drive:
-
- 1. Start Windows.
-
- 2. At the "Permanent swap file is corrupt" screen, type Y in response
- to the question "Do you want to delete this swap file?", and
- then press ENTER.
-
- 3. Open Control Panel, and then Drive-click the 386 Enhanced icon.
-
- 4. Choose the Virtual Memory button. Windows displays a dialog box stating
- that a corrupt swap file was found and asks if you want to set the
- file's length to zero.
-
- 5. Choose the Yes button. Windows displays another Virtual Memory dialog box.
-
- 6. Choose the Change button. Windows displays swap-file settings.
-
- 7. In the Drive list box, select a drive that is not compressed. In the
- Type list box, select "Permanent."
-
- If your uncompressed drive does not have enough free space to create a
- permanent swap file, create a temporary swap file on either your
- compressed or uncompressed drives. (For information about freeing
- space on your uncompressed drive, see section 7.7.)
-
- When you have finished specifying swap-file settings, choose OK twice,
- and follow the instructions on your screen.
-
- 7.10 EXTDISK.SYS displays a warning about drive letters.
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- If you are using DriveSpace on a Compaq computer, and your CONFIG.SYS file
- loads the EXTDISK.SYS device driver, EXTDISK.SYS displays the following
- message when it loads:
-
- WARNING: EXTDISK.SYS is not the first device driver to assign drive
- letters. Physical hard drive letters will not be contiguous.
-
- The EXTDISK.SYS driver still works properly. It displays this message
- because it expects to be the first module to assign drive letters,
- but because DRVSPACE.BIN loads before the CONFIG.SYS file and assigns
- some drive letters, EXTDISK.SYS is no longer first. (EXTDISK.SYS
- displays the message regardless of when the DRVSPACE.SYS device
- driver is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file.)
-
- 7.11 You need a special device driver to use your startup drive
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- If your startup hard disk drive requires a device driver in your CONFIG.SYS
- file, do not compress that drive. If you do, your computer will not
- start properly, since DriveSpace will be unable to access your startup
- drive. (This is because MS-DOS loads DRVSPACE.BIN, the portion of MS-DOS
- that accesses compressed drives, before starting any of the device drivers
- in your CONFIG.SYS file.)
-
- To install DriveSpace on a computer with a startup drive that requires a
- special device driver, use DriveSpace Setup to compress a drive other than
- your startup drive, or use DriveSpace Setup to create a new compressed
- drive using free space on any existing drive.
-
- 7.12 Defragmenting uncompressed drives after changing file attributes
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- You can safely defragment both your compressed or uncompressed
- drives, using the Microsoft Defragmenter or another defragmentation
- program, as long as you do not change the attributes of your
- compressed volume files.
-
- CAUTION If you change the attributes of a compressed volume file,
- and then defragment that uncompressed drive without first
- unmounting the compressed drives, you might lose data.
-
- If you want to fully defragment your uncompressed drive, you must
- first unmount all compressed drives located on the uncompressed
- drive, remove all their attributes, and then use DEFRAG or another
- defragmenter.
-
- 7.13 Files DriveSpace cannot compress
- --------------------------------------
- Some files (such as .ZIP files) are already compressed. DriveSpace
- might not be able to compress such files any further.
-
- Encrypted data files, such as the Microsoft Mail 3.0 .MMF file, are
- not compressible and will be stored in uncompressed form, even if
- you store such files on a compressed drive.
-
- You might want to store uncompressible files on an uncompressed drive
- rather than on a compressed drive. Doing so can sometimes improve
- your system's speed.
-
- 7.14 Microsoft Defragmenter runs out of memory while you are compressing
- a drive
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If the Defragmenter runs out of memory while you are compressing a
- drive, quit DriveSpace, and then carry out the procedure in section
- 5.4 of this file.
-
- If the Defragmenter still runs out of memory after you have tried
- these procedures, there might be too many files on your hard disk
- for the Defragmenter to organize. For the program to work correctly,
- you might need to delete some files or move them to a floppy disk or
- a network drive.
-
- 7.15 DriveSpace and PC-Vault
- -----------------------------
- See section 6.10.
-
- 7.16 Maximum size of a compressed drive
- ---------------------------------------
- The maximum size for a DriveSpace compressed drive is 512 megabytes (MB).
- For example, if you compress a disk drive that is 600 MB, the resulting
- DriveSpace drive will be no larger than 512 MB. To compress the rest of
- the disk drive, run DriveSpace, and choose Create New Drive from the
- Compress menu. Make the new compressed drive as large as possible.
- (If your drive is very large, you might need to create several new
- compressed drives in order to compress the entire drive.)
-
- 7.17 DriveSpace could not mount a drive due to problems with the drive
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- If the message "DriveSpace could not mount drive X due to problems
- with the drive" (in which X is the drive letter) appears when you start
- your computer, then the internal organization of the drive has problems
- that prevent the drive from being used. DriveSpace stores each
- compressed drive in a special file called a compressed volume file (CVF).
- The CVF is a file with the hidden, system, and read-only attributes; it
- is stored on an uncompressed drive.
-
- To use the compressed drive again, you need to run ScanDisk on that
- drive's compressed volume file, and then restart your system. The
- error message includes the name of the compressed volume file on which
- you need to run ScanDisk (for example, C:\DRVSPACE.000).
-
- To fix this problem for a compressed drive other than drive C:
-
- o Type the SCANDISK command specified by the DriveSpace error
- message. For example, SCANDISK D:\DRVSPACE.001. (If MS-DOS cannot
- find the SCANDISK program, see the following procedure.)
-
- To fix this problem for compressed drive C, or if MS-DOS cannot find
- the SCANDISK program:
-
- 1. Insert Setup Disk 1 in drive A (or B) of your computer.
-
- 2. Change to the drive that contains Setup Disk 1.
-
- 3. To start ScanDisk, type the SCANDISK command as specified by
- the DriveSpace error message. For example, SCANDISK C:\DRVSPACE.000.
- When ScanDisk displays dialogs describing any problems, choose
- the Fix It button.
-
- 4. After ScanDisk has finished, remove the floppy disk and restart
- your computer.
-
- 7.18 DriveSpace finishes installation, but you cannot access your Hardcard
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- See section 4.2, part C.
-
- 7.19 You receive a DoubleGuard Alarm message
- ---------------------------------------------
- If a DoubleGuard Alarm message appears, DoubleGuard has detected that
- an application has damaged memory that DriveSpace was using. DoubleGuard
- halts your computer to prevent any further damage to your data.
-
- Normally, each program "owns" a separate area of memory, and does not use
- memory that another program is already using. However, a few programs
- contain programming errors that cause them to inadvertently use memory
- belonging to another program. If such a program inadvertently uses
- memory belonging to DriveSpace, that program could write its own
- data over the data DriveSpace was storing there. Since the data that
- DriveSpace stores in memory usually includes files you are currently
- using, this could cause damage to your data.
-
- DriveSpace's DoubleGuard safety-checking feature detects when another
- program has violated DriveSpace's memory, and immediately shuts down
- your computer to minimize the chance of data loss. (If further disk
- activity were to occur instead, you could lose some or all of the
- data on your drive, since the data DriveSpace has in memory is probably
- invalid due to damage by the other program.)
-
- If you receive a DoubleGuard Alarm message, do the following:
-
- 1. Restart your computer by turning the power switch off and then
- on again.
-
- 2. Type the following at the command prompt:
-
- SCANDISK /ALL
-
- This runs ScanDisk on all your drives to detect and correct any
- problems that might have been caused by the program that
- violated DriveSpace's memory.
-
- 3. Make a note of which program, if any, you were running when the
- DoubleGuard Alarm occurred. That program is probably (but not
- necessarily) the program that caused the DoubleGuard Alarm.
- If you receive additional DoubleGuard Alarms, take notes about
- what you were doing and see if you can detect a pattern.
-
- 7.20 A compressed drive is currently too fragmented to mount
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- If you receive the message "Compressed drive X is currently too
- fragmented to mount" (in which X is the drive letter) when your
- computer starts, or if DriveSpace displays the message "The
- X:\DRVSPACE.nnn file is too fragmented to mount," then DriveSpace
- cannot mount the drive because its compressed volume file is stored in
- too many fragments on your hard disk. (DriveSpace stores each
- compressed drive in a special file called a compressed volume file (CVF).
- The CVF is a file with the hidden, system, and read-only attributes, and
- is stored on an uncompressed drive.)
-
- To correct this problem, increase the MaxFileFragments setting in your
- DRVSPACE.INI file. DriveSpace displays the "too fragmented to mount"
- error messages because the number of CVF file fragments exceeds this
- setting. Follow these steps:
-
- 1. Change to the root directory of your startup drive. (If your
- startup drive is compressed, change to that drive's host drive.)
-
- 2. Type the following command:
-
- TYPE DRVSPACE.INI
-
- 3. Note the current value for the MaxFileFragments setting.
-
- 4. Use the DRVSPACE /MAXFILEFRAGMENTS command to specify a higher value.
- For example, if MaxFileFragments is currently set to 128, you might
- type the following command:
-
- DRVSPACE /MAXFILEFRAGMENTS=200
-
- 5. Restart your computer. DriveSpace should now be able to mount
- the drive.
-
- If DriveSpace still cannot mount the drive, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Run ScanDisk to check the reliability of your hard disk by typing the
- following at the command prompt:
-
- SCANDISK /ALL /SURFACE
-
- 2. Restart your computer. If DriveSpace still cannot mount the drive,
- proceed to step 3.
-
- 3. Remove the Read-Only, System, and Hidden file attributes on the
- DRVSPACE.<XXX> file. For example, if the file is H:\DRVSPACE.000,
- type the following at the command prompt:
-
- ATTRIB H:\DRVSPACE.000 -R -S -H
-
- 4. Run Microsoft Defragmenter (Defrag) by typing DEFRAG at the
- command prompt.
-
- 5. Use the ATTRIB command to reset the file attributes on DRVSPACE.<XXX>.
- For example, if the file is H:\DRVSPACE.000, type the following at
- the command prompt:
-
- ATTRIB H:\DRVSPACE.000 +R +S +H
-
- 6. Restart your computer again. DriveSpace should now be able to mount
- the compressed drive.
-
- 7.21 You receive the message "Your computer is running with an
- incompatible version of DBLSPACE.BIN"
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- If you try to run the MS-DOS 6 version of DBLSPACE.EXE with MS-DOS 6.2,
- it displays the following message:
-
- Your computer is running with an incompatible version of DBLSPACE.BIN.
- You must update DBLSPACE.BIN on the root directory of drive @.
-
- DBLSPACE.EXE has detected that its version number does not match that
- of your MS-DOS 6.2 DBLSPACE.BIN. To correct this problem, you need to
- update this copy of the DBLSPACE.EXE file.
-
- When you run MS-DOS 6.22 Setup, it updates the DBLSPACE.EXE file in
- the directory that contains your MS-DOS files. If there are other
- copies of DBLSPACE.EXE elsewhere on your disk -- for example, in the root
- directory of your host drive -- Setup does not update those additional
- copies. To update them yourself, use the COPY /Y command to copy the
- MS-DOS 6.22 version of DBLSPACE.EXE over the older versions. (The MS-DOS
- 6.22 version of DBLSPACE.EXE is located in the directory that contains
- your MS-DOS files.)
-
- 7.22 Using the DRVSPACE command after bypassing DRVSPACE.BIN
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- If you bypass DRVSPACE.BIN when you start your computer (by pressing
- CTRL+F5 or CTRL+F8), then the DRVSPACE command may not work as
- expected:
-
- * Usually, if DriveSpace is installed, typing DRVSPACE runs the
- DriveSpace program. However, if you type DRVSPACE when
- DRVSPACE.BIN is not loaded, DriveSpace Setup starts instead.
- If this happens, quit DriveSpace Setup.
-
- * If you type the DRVSPACE /MOUNT command, it reports that there
- are no more drive letters for DriveSpace to use. (DriveSpace
- cannot mount a compressed drive unless DRVSPACE.BIN is loaded.)
-
- To use DriveSpace or your compressed drives, restart your computer
- without bypassing DRVSPACE.BIN.
-
- 7.23 Removing the write-protection from a compressed floppy disk
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- If you are using a compressed floppy disk that is write-protected
- and Automounting is enabled, the disk will remain write-protected
- until it is unmounted -- even if you remove the write-protect tab
- from it.
-
- To remove the write protection, use either of the following methods:
-
- * Unmount the floppy disk by using the DRVSPACE /UNMOUNT command,
- and then try using the disk again (this will automatically
- remount it). For example, if the disk is in drive B, you would
- type DRVSPACE /UNMOUNT B: and then try using the disk again.
- (If Windows is running, you can't use the DRVSPACE /UNMOUNT
- command. In that case, use the following method.)
-
- * Insert a different floppy disk in the drive and access it (for
- example, carry out the DIR command on it). This automatically
- unmounts the compressed floppy disk that was previously in the
- drive.) Then, reinsert the compressed floppy disk and try using
- it again (this will automatically remount it).
-
- NOTE If you are using DriveSpace and mount an unconverted DoubleSpace
- floppy disk, the disk will be mounted with write-protected.
- The only way to remove the write protection on such a disk is
- to convert it to DriveSpace format; for information on converting
- it, see section 7.1.
-
- 7.24 Automounting and Norton disk-caching utilities
- ----------------------------------------------------
- If you use a Norton disk-caching utility such as Norton Cache
- (NCACHE2.EXE) or Norton Speedrive (SPEEDRV.EXE) make sure the
- utility is loaded after the DEVICE command for DRVSPACE.SYS.
- If you load one of these utilities before DRVSPACE.SYS,
- DriveSpace's automounting feature will not work.
-
- 7.25 Undelete utilities and DriveSpace
- ----------------------------------------
- DriveSpace cannot compress or uncompress drives while an undelete
- utility (for example, Microsoft Undelete's Delete Sentry or Norton's
- SmartCan) is running. To compress or uncompress a drive, you will need
- to temporarily disable the undelete utility. Follow these steps:
-
- 1. Purge any previously deleted files to conserve disk space. If you
- are using Microsoft Delete Sentry, type the following at the command
- prompt:
-
- UNDELETE /PURGE
-
- Carry out this command on each drive you plan to compress or uncompress.
- If you will be uncompressing a drive, you should also purge deleted
- files from that drive's host drive. To purge deleted files from a
- drive other than the current drive, specify the drive letter after
- the UNDELETE /PURGE command (for example, UNDELETE /PURGE E:).
-
- If you use a different undelete utility, see that utility's
- documentation for information about purging deleted files.
-
- 2. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and use the REM command to disable
- the command that starts the undelete utility. (For example, if
- you use Delete Sentry, disable the UNDELETE /S command.)
-
- 3. Restart your computer.
-
- 4. Try again to compress or uncompress the drive.
-
- 5. When you have finished compressing or uncompressing, edit your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file, reenable the command that starts the undelete
- utility, and then restart your computer again.
-
- 7.26 Creating an Emergency Startup Disk for DriveSpace Systems
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
- To create an MS-DOS 6.22 startup disk if you use DriveSpace:
-
- 1. If you are upgrading from MS-DOS 6.0, install MS-DOS 6.22 in the
- directory that contains your previous version of MS-DOS.
-
- 2. To create a startup floppy disk, run Setup again by typing the following
- command:
-
- SETUP /F
-
- Setup installs MS-DOS 6.22 on the floppy disk. The resulting startup disk
- does not include DRVSPACE.BIN, since MS-DOS 6.22 does not include
- DriveSpace.
-
- 3. Add the DRVSPACE.BIN file to the floppy disk by copying it from the
- directory that contains your MS-DOS files. For example, if your MS-DOS
- directory is C:\DOS and the floppy disk is in drive A, you would type:
-
- COPY C:\DOS\DRVSPACE.BIN A:
-
- Note: If you are upgrading from MS-DOS 6 but need to install to the
- floppy disk without first installing MS-DOS 6.22 on your hard disk,
- you can skip Step 1. However, the resulting startup disk will include
- MS-DOS 6 DoubleSpace rather than MS-DOS 6.2 DoubleSpace. When you
- start your computer using such a startup disk, you will receive a
- message from DoubleSpace; to continue, just press ENTER.
-
- 7.27 If ScanDisk Cannot Check or Repair a DoubleSpace Volume File
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- MS-DOS 6.22 ScanDisk can check DoubleSpace drives or volume files only
- if one of the following conditions is true:
-
- * DoubleSpace is installed and DBLSPACE.BIN is loaded into memory.
-
- * Both the DBLSPACE.BIN and DRVSPACE.MR1 files are available -- located
- together in the root directory or the directory that contains your
- MS-DOS files. (For information about the DRVSPACE.MR1 file, see
- Section 7.28 of this file.)
-
- Otherwise, ScanDisk displays a message like the following:
-
- ScanDisk cannot check or repair DoubleSpace volume file D:\DBLSPACE.001.
-
- If you receive this message, one of the following might be the cause
- of the problem:
-
- * DoubleSpace is not installed and the DBLSPACE.BIN and/or DRVSPACE.MR1
- files are unavailable or are not in the same directory. These files must
- be together in the root directory or the directory that contains your
- MS-DOS files. (For information about the DRVSPACE.MR1 file, see
- Section 7.28.)
-
- * DoubleSpace is installed on your system, but you started your
- computer from a floppy disk or by pressing CTRL+F5 or CTRL+F8. If this
- is the case, remove any floppy disks from your drives, restart your
- computer, and try running ScanDisk again.
-
- * You upgraded to MS-DOS 6.22 from a version of MS-DOS that did not
- include DoubleSpace (MS-DOS version 5 or earlier, or MS-DOS 6.21).
- If your previous version of MS-DOS did not include DoubleSpace,
- you cannot use ScanDisk to check DoubleSpace drives.
-
- 7.28 DoubleSpace and the DRVSPACE.MR1 File
- -------------------------------------------
- In conjunction with the DBLSPACE.BIN file, the DRVSPACE.MR1 file enables
- DriveSpace and ScanDisk to work with DoubleSpace drives and volume files.
- These files also enable MS-DOS 6.22 Backup to work with compressed backups
- stored in the MS-DOS 6 data compression format.
-
- NOTE The DRVSPACE.MR1 file is included with DoubleSpace conversion.
- If you purchased the English version of the MS-DOS 6.22 Upgrade,
- you can obtain DoubleSpace conversion by sending in the enclosed
- coupon; if you purchased the MS-DOS 6.22 Step-Up or the non-English
- version of MS-DOS 6.22, your version of MS-DOS 6.22 already includes
- conversion and the DRVSPACE.MR1 file.)
-
- In conjunction with the DBLSPACE.BIN file, the DRVSPACE.MR1 file enables
- DriveSpace to:
-
- * Convert DoubleSpace drives to DriveSpace format. (To convert a drive,
- run DriveSpace, and then choose Convert DoubleSpace from the Tools menu.)
-
- * Mount unconverted DoubleSpace drives for read-only access. The data
- on the drive will be available, but the drive will be write-protected,
- so you will not be able to change or add to the data on the drive.
-
- In conjunction with the DBLSPACE.BIN file, the DRVSPACE.MR1 file enables
- ScanDisk to check and repair unconverted DoubleSpace drives and volume files.
-
- In addition, the DBLSPACE.BIN and DRVSPACE.MR1 files enable MS-DOS 6.22
- Backup to read older compressed backups. For more information, see Section
- 5.5 of this file.

- 7.29 Using unconverted DoubleSpace drives with DriveSpace
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- If you mount a DoubleSpace drive under the circumstances described in
- section 7.28, DriveSpace will mount the drive write-protected (read-only).
- This means that you cannot change the drive or the data it contains.
- To change a DoubleSpace drive or the data on it, you must first convert
- the drive to DriveSpace format. To do this, choose the Convert DoubleSpace
- command from the Tools menu. (You must have the DRVSPACE.MR1 file in
- order to do this; for more information, see section 7.28.)
-
- 7.30 If a partially converted drive cannot be mounted
- ------------------------------------------------------
- Normally, when DriveSpace converts a DoubleSpace drive, the drive is
- completely converted to DriveSpace format. However, if the power is
- interrupted during conversion, or something else prevents the conversion
- process from completing, the drive will remain in a partially converted
- state.
-
- To mount a partially converted drive if you are using DriveSpace, you must
- first convert the drive to DriveSpace format. To do this, choose the
- Convert DoubleSpace command from the Tools menu. (You must have the
- DRVSPACE.MR1 file in order to do this; for more information, see section
- 7.28.) DriveSpace will then convert and mount the drive.
-
- To mount a partially converted drive if you are using DoubleSpace, you must
- first convert your system to DriveSpace. (For more information, see section
- 7.1.) After you have converted your system to DriveSpace, convert the
- partially-converted drive to DriveSpace format by choosing the Convert
- DoubleSpace command from the Tools menu. (You must have the DRVSPACE.MR1
- file in order to do this; for more information, see section 7.28.)
