STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE
RECONFIGURING STACKER 3.1 FOR
HARD CARDS WITH MOUNT ID WRITE ERROR
STAC FAX 31019 (10/07/93)
_________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
If you implemented a work around for a Hard Card with a "Mount ID
Write Error," you can install updated Stacker files and reverse
the work around to fully utilize Stacker 3.1.
SOLUTION
The primary work around for this error consisted of mounting the
Hard Card's STACVOL file in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file instead of
STACKER.INI. Work around #1 mounted the Hard Card "replaced,"
while work around #2 mounted the Hard Card "swapped." Select the
appropriate procedure to reverse your work around.
REVERSING WORK AROUND #1,
MOUNTING THE COMPRESSED HARD CARD REPLACED
If you implemented this work around:
1. Added the line /RP=2 to STACKER.INI,
2. Deleted or commented out the Hard Card STACVOL file in
STACKER.INI,
3. Added the line C:\STACKER\STACKER D: to AUTOEXEC.BAT, where
D is the drive letter of your Hard Card.
Do this to reverse it:
1. Run setup from disk 1 to install the updated Stacker files.
Follow the Setup screens, and restart your system when
prompted at the "Setup/Upgrade Complete" screen.
2. To make the proper entries in STACKER.INI, from the DOS
prompt, type:
C:\STACKER\CONFIG
3. At the prompt, "Change C:\STACKER.INI as indicated (y,N)?,"
type:
Y
4. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Delete the line
C:\STACKER\STACKER D:
where D is the drive letter of your Hard Card.
5. Save the file and exit to DOS.
6. Restart your computer.
REVERSING WORK AROUND #2,
MOUNTING THE COMPRESSED HARD SWAPPED
If you implemented this work around:
1. Added the line /SW=DF to STACKER.INI, where D is the drive
letter of your Hard Card and F is the drive with which it
swaps,
2. Replaced the Hard Card STACVOL file in STACKER.INI with an
asterisk (*),
3. Added the line C:\STACKER\STACKER D:=F:\STACVOL.DSK to
AUTOEXEC.BAT, where D is the drive letter of your Hard Card
and F is the drive with which it swaps.
Do this to reverse it:
1. Run setup from disk 1 to install the updated Stacker files.
Follow the Setup screens, and restart your system when
prompted at the "Setup/Upgrade Complete" screen.
2. From the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press <Enter>.
3. Note the drive letter of the uncompressed drive which is
exchanged with C (your boot drive). The drive letter is
displayed in the far right column.
4. From the DOS prompt, type:
C:\STACKER\STACINI drive:
where drive: is the letter of the uncompressed boot drive.
5. Erase all entries in the STACKER.INI file. Press Ctrl+K
repeatedly until the file is empty.
6. Press Ctrl+Z to save the file.
7. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Delete the line:
C:\STACKER\STACKER D:=F:\STACVOL.DSK
where D is the drive letter of your Hard Card and F is the
drive with which it swaps.
8. Save the file and exit to DOS.
9. Restart your computer. The data on your compressed Hard
Card will be temporarily unavailable.
10. To rebuild your STACKER.INI file, from the DOS prompt, type:
C:\STACKER\CONFIG
11. At the prompt, "Change C:\STACKER.INI as indicated (y,N)?,"
type:
Y
