DoubleSpace Maintenance Program Fails to Modify DBLSPACE.INI (97806)
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
This article was previously published under Q97806
SYMPTOMS
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.
If a network drive is mapped over the host drive letter and you
attempt to change the "Last drive reserved for DoubleSpace's use:"
setting, the DoubleSpace maintenance program does not change the
LastDrive= line in the DBLSPACE.INI file, and does not indicate that
the operation failed.
CAUSE
The DoubleSpace maintenance program cannot change the DBLSPACE.INI
file on the host drive when a network drive is mapped over its drive
letter.
WORKAROUND
To work around this situation, disconnect or log off from the network
drive and run the DoubleSpace maintenance program to change the "Last
drive reserved for DoubleSpace's use:" setting.
