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.

Stacker is manufactured by STAC Electronics, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
