SYMPTOMS
========
When you are trying to compress a large hard disk with DriveSpace, Windows 95
may not restart successfully in mini-Windows mode.
CAUSE
=====
Some large hard disks require that drivers be loaded from the Config.sys file.
These drivers may call overlay (.ovl) files. Since the .ovl files are not
directly listed in the Config.sys file, they are not copied into the
Failsafe.drv folder on the host drive.
RESOLUTION
==========
Copy any necessary .ovl files to the Failsafe.drv folder on the host drive. Run
DriveSpace and try the compression operation again.
MORE INFORMATION
================
For information about .ovl files called by your hard disk's driver, please refer
to the documentation included with your hard disk.
