DBLSPACE /UNCOMPRESS Does Not Remove DBLSPACE.SYS Entry (106125)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q106125
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 use the DBLSPACE /UNCOMPRESS command to uncompress the last
mounted compressed drive, DoubleSpace may not remove the DBLSPACE.SYS
line from the CONFIG.SYS file.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when any portion of the DBLSPACE.SYS line contains
one or more lowercase letters. For example, the following line would
not be removed because of the lowercase letter e:
DeVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, edit the CONFIG.SYS file and manually
remove the DBLSPACE.SYS line.
MORE INFORMATION
The DBLSPACE.SYS line contains lowercase characters only if it has
been modified by a user. If this line remains in the CONFIG.SYS file,
DoubleSpace does not generate an error message or alert the user of
any problems when you boot. Although it is present in the CONFIG.SYS
file, the DoubleSpace driver does not load into memory because
DBLSPACE.BIN has been removed from the root directory of the boot
drive.
