This article was previously published under Q74428

SUMMARY

Golden Bow software produces a hard drive compression/optimization utility called VOpt. VOpt versions 3.0x or later are compatible with MS-DOS 5.0 and later; earlier versions may not be.

MORE INFORMATION

According to Golden Bow, VOpt version 2.2 will work with MS-DOS 5.0 and later if the partition sizes are under 65 megabytes (MB).

Earlier versions of VOpt will report excessive amounts of lost allocation units, and will not compress the hard drive. VOpt will recommend using CHKDSK to fix the hard drive. This will not solve the problem; you must use an updated version of VOpt.

The product included here is manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
