TITLE :Setup Is Unable to Read Uninstall Disk on a COMPAQ
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
If you are using SMARTDrive to cache a floppy disk on a COMPAQ
machine, MS-DOS 6 Upgrade may not be able to read the Uninstall disk.
This problem occurs due to a problem in the COMPAQ BIOS. The problem
occurs when SMARTDrive is loaded into upper memory because all floppy
disk data transfers go through the upper memory blocks (UMBs).
To workaround this problem, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so it loads
SMARTDrive in conventional memory with the following command:
smartdrv /l
