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.
