SUMMARY
=======

When you compress a floptical disk, DoubleSpace restarts the system.

This problem occurs because DoubleSpace treats a floptial drive (an optical drive
with removable disks) like a hard disk drive, not a floppy drive.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS version 6.2. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
