SYMPTOMS
========
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.
After it examines a hard disk, the DoubleSpace utility may return one of the
following error messages:
DoubleSpace Cannot Copy The File DBLSPACE.INF
-or-
DoubleSpace cannot copy DBLSPACE.BIN
CAUSE
=====
The root directory of the drive contains an excessive number of entries. The
root directory of a hard disk can contain up to 512 entries,including both files
and directories.
NOTE: The first error message can also be generated when the files DBLSPACE.INF
or DBLSPACE.HLP are not in the DOS directory.
WORKAROUND
==========
Reduce the number of entries in the root directory.
