MORE INFORMATION

If a floppy disk drive is not present on the system and you want to run the DoubleSpace-to-DriveSpace conversion setup program, you can run it from the hard disk drive or any other drive. To do so, the files included with the conversion program must be located in the root directory of the drive you want to run Setup from. If the files are not located in the root directory of the drive, you receive the following message
