Setup Error Using Stacker versions 2.x, 3.x and Swapped Drives (97562)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
This article was previously published under Q97562
SYMPTOMS
If Stac Electronics' Stacker, version 2.x or 3.x, is installed on your
computer and your CONFIG.SYS file contains the Stacker SSWAP.COM
command to swap drives, you cannot install MS-DOS 6.0. The MS-DOS
installation fails and Setup generates the following message:
The copy of the CONFIG.SYS or the AUTOEXEC.BAT on your
compressed drive does not match the corresponding file on
your uncompressed drive.
WORKAROUND
To correct this error, use a text editor to change the CONFIG.SYS file
on your uncompressed drive. Find the line that installs SSWAP.COM and
add the /SYNC option. For example, the changed SSWAP.COM line might
look like the following:
device=c:\stacker\sswap.com /sync
The /SYNC option causes SSWAP.COM to synchronize the AUTOEXEC.BAT and
CONFIG.SYS files on the uncompressed drive with those on the
compressed drive.
For additional information about SSWAP.COM, its /SYNC option switch,
or Stacker, please refer to the Stacker documentation or contact STAC
Electronics.
