- DEFRAGMENTING A DOUBLESPACED DRIVE
-
- The DoubleSpace DEFRAGment command is used on a DoubleSpaced
- compressed drive. The program doesn't really defragment the
- drive, however it does consolidate the free space. Do this at
- least once a month. It should be considered routine hard drive
- maintenance. First use the CHKDSK command.
-
- 1. Change to the compressed drive and then issue a CHKDSK
- command like so:
-
- c: <ENTER>
-
- chkdsk /f <ENTER>
-
- The /F tells DOS to fix errors.
-
- Another option is to do it like so:
-
- dblspace /chkdsk /f <ENTER>
-
- A shortcut for the DBLSPACE /CHKDSK /F command is:
-
- dblspace /chk /f <ENTER>
-
- 2. Defragmenting a large hard drive can take a very long
- time. To consolidate a DoubleSpace compressed drive,
- change to the compressed drive and then issue a command
- like so:
-
- dblspace /defragment <ENTER>
-
- A shortcut for the above command is:
-
- dblspace /def <ENTER>
