RAM Drive Icon in Anti-Virus Is Incorrect with DoubleSpace (112858)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q112858
SYMPTOMS
When you use a RAM drive with Microsoft MS-DOS version 6.0 or later, it is
represented by a regular hard disk drive icon rather than the RAM drive
icon in the Microsoft Anti-Virus for Windows drive list.
CAUSE
This problem occurs in the following situations:
• The line DEVICE=C:\DOS\RAMDRIVE.SYS is listed before the line
DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE in the CONFIG.SYS file.
• There is no DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE or
DEVICE=C:\DOS\DRVSPACE.SYS /MOVE line in the CONFIG.SYS file.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, move the line DEVICE=C:\DOS\RAMDRIVE.SYS below the
line DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE in the CONFIG.SYS file.
NOTE: The DEVICE=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE line must be in the CONFIG.SYS
file. If it is not, the host drive is set to the first drive designated
after the RAM drive, even if the DBLSPACE.INI file is configured
differently.
