Running FASTOPEN and CHKDSK Removes File Attributes on CVF (103539)
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 Q103539 SYMPTOMS
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.
If you run FASTOPEN and then CHKDSK on a DoubleSpace-compressed drive, the
file attributes on the corresponding compressed volume file (CVF) on the
host drive are cleared. For example, if your compressed drive is C, your
host drive is H, and you run FASTOPEN C: and then CHKDSK C:, the system,
hidden, and read-only attributes on H:\DBLSPACE.000 are all removed.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, restart your computer to have DoubleSpace
reset the file attributes.
