SYMPTOMS
When you have a Bernoulli drive that has two drives in one box and the
first drive is uncompressed and the second drive has been automatically
mounted by the DoubleSpace or DriveSpace automount code, the following
problems occur:
- The compressed drive is mapped over the uncompressed drive.
- The uncompressed drive is mapped to a host drive.
As a result, the drive letter that was the second drive is inaccessible and
returns the following error when accessed:
Not ready reading drive J:
Abort, Retry, Fail.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 6.2 and
6.22. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
NOTE: This problem is very rare.
