- The relevant portion of your AUTOEXEC.BAT might look like this:
-
- NDD C: /Q
- NDD D: /Q
- NDD E: /Q
- NDD F: /Q
- SCHECK C: /F /D
- SCHECK D: /F /D
-
- This example assumes that you have two drives and have swapped drive
- designations. So, C: & D: are the Stacked virtual drives, and E: & F:
- are the underlying physical drives.
-
- IMO, taking this precaution becomes imperative if you have an unstable
- Windows environment that tends to crash often (mine doesn't--it virtually
- never crashes).
