APPLIES TO
- Microsoft MS-DOS 6.2 Standard Edition
This article was previously published under Q108750
SYMPTOMS
If you unmount a compressed volume file (CVF) on a floppy disk drive and then try to use the MS-DOS FORMAT command to format a floppy disk, you may receive the following message
where <X> is the floppy disk drive letter.
CAUSE
This message is caused by the new Automount feature in MS-DOS 6.2. Any command that attempts to access a floppy disk drive containing a disk with a CVF mounts that CVF.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem:
- Change to the drive letter that contains the compressed floppy disk (usually A: or B:) by typing A: or B:.
- Type dblspace /unmount <x>: where <x> is the floppy disk drive letter.
- Type format <x>: where <x> is the floppy disk drive letter.
