Q105256: DoubleSpace Mounts Bernoulli Disk as Non-Removable

Article: Q105256
Product(s): Microsoft Disk Operating System
Version(s): MS-DOS:6.2,6.22

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.2, 6.22 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
========

If you are using Bernoulli IOMega OAD version 1.21 device drivers with MS-DOS
6.2, DoubleSpace creates a permanently mounted drive when you compress existing
data on a Bernoulli drive. When you restart your computer, DoubleSpace attempts
to mount the newly created compressed disk, even if the Bernoulli drive is
empty.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, unmount the DoubleSpace-compressed Bernoulli disk
and then reboot your computer. After rebooting your computer, the disk should
mount automatically when you access it.
