STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE
MOUNT ID WRITE ERROR
(Applies to Stacker 3.1 for Windows & DOS)
STAC FAX 31020 (10/07/93)
_________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
If the Stacker device driver cannot successfully write the Mount
ID to a STACVOL file on a Hard Card, you will get the error
message "Mount ID Write Error" when you start your computer.
SOLUTION
Manually remove write protection
Verify the position of STACHIGH.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file
Add a line to AUTOEXEC.BAT to automatically remove write
protection
Install the updated Stacker files
Remove the line from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
Manually remove write protection
1. To remove write protection so that you can change your
computer's configuration, at the DOS prompt, type:
C:\STACKER\CHECK drive: /F /B <Enter>
where drive is the letter of the write protected drive.
Verify the position of STACHIGH.SYS in CONFIG.SYS
1. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file.
2. Ensure that the line that ends with "...STACHIGH.SYS"
appears after your Hard Card's device driver. If
STACHIGH.SYS loads first, then move your Hard Card's device
driver above it. For example:
DEVICE=<Hard Card device driver>
DEVICEHIGH=C:\STACKER\STACHIGH.SYS
3. If you modified your CONFIG.SYS file, save the changes.
Add a line to AUTOEXEC.BAT to automatically remove write protection
1. Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
2. Add this line to the beginning of the file:
C:\STACKER\CHECK drive: /F /B
where drive is the letter of the write protected drive.
3. Save the file and exit to DOS.
4. Restart your computer. Stacker will display the Mount ID
write error and prompt you to "Press any key to continue..."
5. Press any key. Write protection will be removed by the new
line in AUTOEXEC.BAT, and your computer will start normally.
Note: your computer will boot in this way until you
complete the next two steps.
Install the updated Stacker files
1. Run setup from disk 1 to install the updated Stacker files.
Follow the Setup screens, and choose RESTART when prompted
at the "Setup/Upgrade Complete" screen. Your computer will
start without the Mount ID write error.
Remove the line from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
1. The line you added earlier is no longer necessary. Edit
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and delete the line:
C:\STACKER\CHECK drive: /F /B
2. Save the file and exit to DOS.
