SYMPTOMS
When you install MS-DOS 6.21 Upgrade over IBM PC-DOS version 6.1 (with data- compression installed), Setup displays the following error message:

Setup cannot continue. Your computer has DoubleSpace installed on it.

MS-DOS 6.21 does not support DoubleSpace.



CAUSE
With data compression installed, IBM PC-DOS 6.1 includes the files DBLSPACE.000, DBLSPACE.BIN, and DBLSPACE.INI in root directory of the host drive. As a result, Setup cannot install.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, remove the IBM compression by running SSUNCOMP.EXE and then run MS-DOS 6.21 Upgrade Setup.
