ARTICLE-ID:Q96440
TITLE :DoubleSpace Doesn't Mount After Installing RAMDrive
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
If you use DoubleSpace with a removable hard drive (such as Syquest,
Bernoulli, or Quatam Passport XL) and later install RAMDrive,
DoubleSpace may refuse to mount its compressed drive(s). This problem
only occurs if the RAMDrive DEVICE command in the CONFIG.SYS file
precedes the removable hard drive DEVICE command line. Since RAMDrive
may inadvertently use the drive letter of the removable drive,
DoubleSpace may not find the compressed volume on the expected drive.
The same behavior may occur if you remove RAMDrive after compressing
your removable hard drive. (The drive letters shift and DoubleSpace
does not mount.)
If this problem was caused by installing RAMDrive, you can simply move
the RAMDrive DEVICE command past the removable drive's DEVICE command
in the CONFIG.SYS file. The advantage of this workaround is that the
drive letter assignments stay the same.
If this problem occurs after removing RAMDrive, run DBLSPACE. From the
Drive menu, choose Mount. DoubleSpace scans all your drives for
compressed volumes and reassigns drive letters appropriately. This
workaround may cause problems for programs configured to specific
drive letters.
