## SUMMARY

When you run MS-DOS 6 CHKDSK on a DoubleSpace-compressed drive, it runs DBLSPACE with the /CHKDSK parameter. MS-DOS 6.2 CHKDSK does not do this (by design).
To check the integrity of your MS-DOS 6.2 DoubleSpace-compressed drive, run ScanDisk.
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.
