<br /><br />

<br />
== SUMMARY ==<br />
<br />
This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and file names.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
This article contains information on the documentation errors in MS-DOS Help, the README.TXT file, SMARTDrive Monitor, and ScanDisk. The following topics are covered:<br />
=== MS-DOS Help Errors ===<br />
<br />
* ScanDisk Notes Not Specific About &quot;MS-DOS Boot Sector&quot;<br />
* DBLSPACE /HOST Help is Difficult to Locate<br />
* Incorrect Information of Space Required to Compress<br />
<br />
=== MS-DOS README.TXT Errors ===<br />
<br />
* Section 3.1 Your Computer Uses a Windows 3.0 Permanent Swap File<br />
<br />
=== Microsoft Backup ===<br />
<br />
* Microsoft Backup Reports Version 6.0<br />
<br />
=== SMARTDrive Monitor ===<br />
<br />
* SMARTDrive Monitor Help Refers to SMARTDrive Version 4.0<br />
<br />
=== ScanDisk ===<br />
<br />
* SCANDISK /FRAGMENT Displays Incorrect Error Message<br />
<br />
=== MS-DOS Help Errors ===<br />
<br />
=== ScanDisk Notes Not Specific About &quot;MS-DOS Boot Sector&quot; ===<br />
<br />
The ScanDisk Notes section lists the types of problems that can be detected and fixed by ScanDisk. The list contains an entry for &quot;MS-DOS boot sector.&quot;<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Problems with the MS-DOS boot sector can be detected and fixed on DoubleSpace-compressed drives only.<br />
=== DBLSPACE /HOST Help is Difficult to Locate ===<br />
<br />
The DBLSPACE/ HOST command, which is used to change the host designation, is not listed under Help DblSpace, and incorrectly listed under Dblspace /?.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Help for this command is correctly listed and available if you type<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
<span class="kbd userinput"> help dblspace /host </span><br />
<br />
<br />
</div><br />
The correct command format is<br />
<pre class="fixed_text"> dblspace drive1: /host=drive2<br />
</pre><br />
=== Incorrect Information of Space Required to Compress ===<br />
<br />
The Dblspace Compress section of MS-DOS Help does not correctly indicate how much space is required to compress a boot drive. For more information, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
<span class="kbd userinput"> compress and existing and boot and drive and sufficient </span><br />
<br />
<br />
</div><br />
=== MS-DOS README.TXT Errors ===<br />
<br />
=== Section 3.1 Your Computer Uses a Windows 3.0 Permanent Swap File ===<br />
<br />
Step 2 of section 3.1 states the following:<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Type the following at the command prompt:<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
<span class="kbd userinput"> SPATCH [DRIVE]:[PATH]SWAPFILE.EXE </span><br />
<br />
<br />
</div><br />
For the DRIVE and PATH parameters, specify the location of your SWAPFILE.EXE file.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Using this syntax results in the following error message:<br />
<div class="errormessage"><br />
<br />
Cannot find SWAPFILE.EXE in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory.<br />
<br />
</div><br />
The correct syntax is:<br />
<pre class="fixed_text"> SPATCH [DRIVE]:[PATH]<br />
</pre><br />
For the DRIVE and PATH parameters, specify the location of your Windows directory. For example:<br />
<pre class="fixed_text"> SPATCH C:\WINDOWS<br />
</pre><br />
=== Microsoft Backup ===<br />
<br />
=== Microsoft Backup Reports Version 6.0 ===<br />
<br />
Microsoft Backup for Windows and Microsoft Backup (MS-DOS-based version) in MS-DOS 6.2 reports the version number as 6.0. The incorrect version number is displayed in the startup dialog box (Reading Directories) and the About dialog boxes.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Microsoft Backup was not updated for MS-DOS version 6.2. For MS-DOS 6.21, compression code was removed. For MS-DOS 6.22, new compression code was added.<br />
=== ScanDisk ===<br />
<br />
=== SCANDISK /FRAGMENT Displays Incorrect Error Message ===<br />
<br />
SCANDISK /FRAGMENT displays:<br />
<div class="errormessage"><br />
<br />
You specified too many parameters: X:&quot;,<br />
<br />
</div><br />
where X is the default drive letter. The correct command syntax is:<br />
<pre class="fixed_text"> SCANDISK /FRAGMENT fname<br />
</pre><br />
The error message should read &quot;Missing parameter.&quot;<br />
=== SMARTDrive Monitor ===<br />
<br />
SMARTDrive Monitor Help incorrectly refers to SMARTDrive version 4.0; it should refer to SMARTDrive version 5.0.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
NOTE: VSAFE Help, Microsoft Anti-Virus Help, and Defrag Help contain the same documentation errors as the MS-DOS 6.0 version. For more information on these documentation errors, query on the following words in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:<br />
<div class="indent"><br />
<br />
<span class="kbd userinput"> comprehensive and ms-dos and docerr and 6.00 </span><br />
<br />
<br />
</div><br />
<br />
</div><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
Additional query words: 6.22 6.20 6.0 6.2 doc err docerr comprehensive<br />
