TITLE :RAMDRIVE.SYS Should Precede DBLSPACE.SYS in CONFIG.SYS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
The RAMDRIVE.SYS line in the CONFIG.SYS file should precede the
DBLSPACE.SYS line or the RAMDrive will receive a different drive
designation from what it was before. This can become a problem if you
have many batch files referencing the RAMDrive. For example, if your
batch files reference drive D and it becomes drive I after DoubleSpace
is installed, your batch files will not work.
More Information:
The drives used for DoubleSpace are selected from the last available
drive rather than the first available drive. If RAMDRIVE.SYS precedes
the DBLSPACE.SYS line, then the RAMDrive's drive letter comes right
after the last physical drive. For example, if you have a drive C and a
floppy disk drive A, then the RAMDrive is assigned the letter D.
If the RAMDRIVE.SYS line comes after the DBLSPACE.SYS line,
DoubleSpace has already allocated all the drive letters between drive
C and its host drive (probably drive H) so the RAMDrive is assigned
letter I.
For information on how DoubleSpace assigns host drive letters, query
on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
doublespace and assigns and host
For more information on RAMDrive, type "help ramdrive.sys" (without
the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt and press ENTER.
