STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE
SSWAP.COM NOT FINDING SPART.PAR AT BOOT TIME
(Applies to Stacker for Windows & DOS 3.1 and MS-DOS 6)
STAC FAX 31202 (08/19/93)
_________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
When Stacker swaps your drives, it looks for a Windows permanent
swap file (386SPART.PAR) in the root directory of the drive being
swapped. If it finds this file, Stacker then looks for the
Windows directory to find the SPART.PAR file. If Stacker doesn't
find it, you see the following message:
SSWAP Warning: Located a Windows permanent swap file on a disk
to be swapped, but could not find the Windows file, SPART.PAR,
pointing to it.
Press any key to continue...
SOLUTION
You'll have to edit the STACKER.INI file on your uncompressed
boot drive.
To determine the uncompressed boot drive letter:
1. At a DOS prompt, type:
STACKER <Enter>
2. Examine the line that starts with Drive C:.
3. The STACVOL file name at the end of this line includes the
uncompressed drive letter (E:\STACVOL.DSK indicates drive E).
To edit the STACKER.INI file:
1. At a DOS prompt, type:
STACINI x: <Enter>
where x is the letter of the uncompressed boot drive.
The file contains switches, followed by Stacker drive
specifications. It looks something like this:
/P=1
/DIR=C:\STACKER
/RP=2
C:\STACVOL.DSK,SW
D:\STACVOL.DSK,SW
2. Use the down arrow to place the cursor at the beginning of
one of the switch lines (they start with /).
3. Press ENTER to insert a new line.
4. Insert the following switch on the new line:
/W-
5. Use CTRL + Z to save the change and exit.
6. Restart your computer. The error should no longer appear.
