SUMMARY
=======
If ScanDisk detects Stacker, XtraDrive, SuperStor, or DoubleDisk drivers in
memory, it runs in CHECKONLY mode.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you run ScanDisk on a system using third-party disk-compression software
without specifying any command-line parameters (or with command-line parameters
that are incompatible with /CHECKONLY), ScanDisk displays the following message
You cannot use the /<SWITCH_NAME> while <COMPR_SW_NAME> is
running.
To check for disk problems without fixing them, type SCANDISK /CHECKONLY at
the command prompt.
where <SWITCH_NAME> is AUTOFIX or CUSTOM and <COMPR_SW_NAME> is
Stacker, SuperStor, DoubleDisk, or XtraDrive.
Erroneous Error Message with Third-Party Device Drivers
-------------------------------------------------------
The following third-party device drivers cause ScanDisk to erroneously report
that third-party disk-compression software is running:
Device Driver Third-Party Product
------------- -------------------
BRIDGE.DRV SYSGEN external floppy drive
DISCTEC.SYS DISCTEC removable hard drive
If you run ScanDisk on a system using third-party disk-compression software and
use command-line parameters that are compatible with /CHECKONLY, no message is
displayed.
To repair problems with your third-party disk-compression software, use the disk
repair utility provided with the product.
ScanDisk also refuses to scan uncompressed disks on systems using third- party
disk-compression software because it detects the disk-compression software by
scanning memory, rather than attempting to detect which drive is compressed.
