DoubleSpace/DriveSpace Limits on 1028 MB to 1153 MB Partitions (119072)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q119072
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft
DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands
and filenames.
SYMPTOMS
When you are compressing a disk using DriveSpace or DoubleSpace, you
receive the following error message:
DriveSpace ran out of free space and some files were left on the newly
created drive.
CAUSE
If you run DoubleSpace or DriveSpace on a disk with a partition size
between 1028 megabytes (MB) and 1153 MB, you cannot create compressed
drives that reach the standard limit of 512 MB.
WORKAROUND
To work around this situation, you must change the partition size to less
than 1 gigabyte before you run DoubleSpace or DriveSpace.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in DoubleSpace and DriveSpace.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
