ARTICLE-ID:Q94335
TITLE :DoubleSpace Installation Fails to Update SYSTEM.INI File
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
If you have multiple installations of Windows on your hard drive,
DoubleSpace may not correctly update the SYSTEM.INI file.
More Information:
Windows stores the location of the permanent swapfile in the [386enh]
section of the SYSTEM.INI file. When you install DoubleSpace, it must
find the SYSTEM.INI file and update the PermSwapDosDrive= setting to
point to the correct drive. If you have multiple copies of Windows
installed, or Windows is not in the path, DoubleSpace cannot find the
SYSTEM.INI file.
Workaround
----------
To workaround this problem, edit the SYSTEM.INI file and change the
drive letter for the PermSwapDosDrive= setting to the DoubleSpace host
drive. For example, if Windows is installed on drive C: and you
installed DoubleSpace, creating drive H:, you would need to edit you
SYSTEM.INI file and change the PermSwapDosDrive=c to
PermSwapDosDrive=h.
