The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.22
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you start your computer, you receive the following error message
immediately after the "Starting MS-DOS" message:
Error: CVF has been deleted or has been seriously damaged
CAUSE
=====
This error message can occur if you use Symantec's Norton Disk Doctor version
7.0 with the /Q (quick) option. Norton Disk Doctor version 7.0 is compatible
with DoubleSpace, but is not compatible with DriveSpace. If you run Norton Disk
Doctor version 7.0 without the /Q option it can find false problems with the
CVF.
WORKAROUND
==========
Do not use Norton Disk Doctor version 7.0 with MS-DOS 6.22 and DriveSpace. Using
EDIT.COM, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and remark the NDD.EXE line. To remark the
line, change it to read:
REM C:\NU\NDD.EXE /Q
You need a newer version of Norton Utilities in order to run Norton Disk Doctor
with DriveSpace.
MORE INFORMATION
================
According to Symantec, Norton Utilities version 8 is compatible with DriveSpace
and will correct problems with the DriveSpace compression structure.
The Norton Utilities and Norton Disk Doctor are manufactured by Symantec
Corporation, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
