DoubleSpace Drives Not Viewable under Windows NT (90554)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
• Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1

SUMMARY
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 using MS-DOS DoubleSpace with Windows NT configured for Dual Boot, you
cannot see your compressed files or run your MS-DOS-based programs when
running MS-DOS Prompt under Windows NT.
CAUSE
To accomplish disk compression, DoubleSpace uses a device driver (loaded at
system startup) to intercept disk reads and writes from the command line
and MS-DOS-based applications. When you run MS-DOS Prompt under Windows NT,
the DoubleSpace device driver is not loaded.
