SYMPTOMS
If you modify the DBLSPACE.INI file with the DBLSPACE /SWITCHES command in MS-DOS 6.2 and then uninstall 6.2 and use MS-DOS 6.0, you receive one of the following error messages when you boot your computer:

Invalid DBLSPACE.INI setting: SWITCHES=/N

Invalid DBLSPACE.INI setting: SWITCHES=/F

Invalid DBLSPACE.INI setting: SWITCHES=/FN



CAUSE
These switches are not valid for the MS-DOS 6.0 DBLSPACE.INI file.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, edit the DBLSPACE.INI file and then add the switches to the CONFIG.SYS file. For example:

  Use the ATTRIB program to clear the DBLSPACE.INI file attributes. For example:      attrib -r -h -s h:\dblspace.ini To determine which drive is your host drive, type dblspace /list at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.  Using MS-DOS Editor, edit the DBLSPACE.INI file and remove the SWITCHES entries. Save the DBLSPACE.INI file. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on drive C and add the SWITCHES entries. Save the CONFIG.SYS file and exit MS-DOS Editor.</ol>
