SUMMARY
If you try to run SYS.COM on a drive that has been compressed with
DoubleSpace, you may receive the following error message:
SYS cannot operate on target drive
To transfer the MS-DOS system files to your hard disk drive, you need
to specify the host drive for C. For example, type sys a: h: at the MS-DOS command prompt and then
press ENTER. To determine your host drive for drive C, type dblspace
/list at the MS-DOS command prompt and
then press ENTER.
