DBLSPACE /UNCOMPRESS Doesn't Work (Network Mapped over Host)

Article ID: 104538

Article Last Modified on 11/25/1999



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft MS-DOS 6.2 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft MS-DOS 6.22 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q104538

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.

SYMPTOMS

When you try to uncompress a DoubleSpace-compressed drive, DoubleSpace may not uncompress the drive without generating an error message.

CAUSE

If you map a network drive over a DoubleSpace host drive, DoubleSpace cannot uncompress the drive and fails to display an error message.

For example, if your DoubleSpace-compressed drive is D, its host drive is I, and you have a network drive assigned I, you cannot uncompress drive D.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, disconnect from the conflicting network connection before you uncompress your DoubleSpace-compressed drive(s).
