Compaq LTE Hibernation Mode Incompatible with DoubleSpace (96755)
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 Q96755
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
Compaq LTE machines have an option called "hibernation mode." This
option writes all information in memory to drive C and then turns the
power off to conserve battery power. When you turn on the computer on
again, it automatically loads the information back into memory, rather
than restarting MS-DOS.
If you have compressed drive C with DoubleSpace, the hibernation mode
information is inaccessible when you restart the computer.
CAUSE
This occurs because the DoubleSpace drivers are not loaded when the
computer tries to read in the information from the hibernation file.
WORKAROUND
To work around to this problem, disable the Compaq hibernation mode if
your drive C is compressed. For information on disabling this feature,
refer to your Compaq documentation.
