SUMMARY

If you are using Software Carousel version 6.0 as a task swapper, you may be able to run MS-DOS Setup, Defragmenter (Defrag), DoubleSpace, or DriveSpace successfully. However, there is a risk of data loss if your applications are loaded in the Software Carousel task swapper.

To avoid potential data loss, ensure you are not running applications from the Software Carousel task swapper when you run MS-DOS Setup, Defrag, DoubleSpace, or DriveSpace.
