This article was previously published under Q100373
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

Central Point Software (CPS) BootSafe reports the following error message after you install MS-DOS 6 or 6.2, or when you resize your DoubleSpace- compressed drive:
W A R N I N G
Partition / Boot Sector was Modified

## CAUSE

This situation occurs because the BIOS parameter block (BPB) is rewritten when you install MS-DOS and when you resize a DoubleSpace-compressed drive.
BootSafe stores BPB information in a hidden-system file called BOOT.CPS. When BootSafe sees the BPB has changed, it displays the above error message.

## WORKAROUND

To work around the situation, choose Update when you receive the warning message from BootSafe.

## MORE INFORMATION

BootSafe is manufactured by Central Point Software, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
