TITLE :Why DoubleSpace Leaves 2 Megabytes Free on the Host Drive
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
When you compress an existing drive, DoubleSpace leaves approximately
2 megabytes free on the host drive. This space is reserved for files
that DoubleSpace needs when rebooting during the compress-in-place
(CIP) process. The following files are stored on the host drive during
the CIP process:
COMMAND.COM
DBLSPACE.BIN
DBLSPACE.EXE
DBLSPACE.HLP
DBLSPACE.INI
DEFRAG.EXE
DoubleSpace also stores copies of the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS
files on the uncompressed portion of the host drive as follows:
AUTOEXEC.000
CONFIG.000
Note: If there are already AUTOEXEC.000 or CONFIG.000 files on the
host drive, DoubleSpace uses 001 for the file extension. If that
filename is used, DoubleSpace uses 002, and so forth.
DoubleSpace uses these files if you restart your computer during a CIP
process. These files are also used when you create a new DoubleSpace
drive or change the size of an existing DoubleSpace drive.
The unused portion of the 2 megabytes of reserved space is used during
the CIP process.
