Novell Compressed Drives Inaccessible Under MS-DOS 6.21 (114364)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
This article was previously published under Q114364

SYMPTOMS

If you upgrade a Novell DOS 7 system that has compressed drives other than C to MS-DOS 6.21, the drives are inaccessible after the upgrade because Stacker is no longer loaded.

CAUSE

MS-DOS 6.21 Setup was not tested with Novell DOS 7 and is not designed to be installed over Novell DOS 7.

WORKAROUND

You may be able to work around this problem by renaming the STACKER.BIN file to DBLSPACE.BIN.
