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.

After it examines a hard disk, the DoubleSpace utility may return one of the following error messages:

DoubleSpace Cannot Copy The File DBLSPACE.INF

-or-

DoubleSpace cannot copy DBLSPACE.BIN



CAUSE
The root directory of the drive contains an excessive number of entries. The root directory of a hard disk can contain up to 512 entries,including both files and directories.

NOTE: The first error message can also be generated when the files DBLSPACE.INF or DBLSPACE.HLP are not in the DOS directory.



WORKAROUND
Reduce the number of entries in the root directory.

Additional query words: 6.00 6.20 double space dblspace
