Err Msg Creating Uninstall Disk: Bad Uninstall Disk... (115204)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q115204
SYMPTOMS
When you use 360-kilobyte (K) 5.25-inch floppy disks as your Uninstall
disks during installation of MS-DOS 6.22, you run out of disk space on the
second disk. As a result, you receive the following error message:
Bad Uninstall disk, press ENTER to exit
After you receive the above error, the only option available is to exit
Setup.
NOTE: This problem occurs only when you install MS-DOS 6.22 over MS-DOS
6.22.
CAUSE
Since Uninstall now backs up the DRVSPACE.BIN and DRVSPACE.INI file in
addition to DBLSPACE.BIN and DBLSPACE.INI, more disk space is required on
the Uninstall disks. This problem occurs when you have both DoubleSpace and
DriveSpace volumes, large CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and you use
360K floppy disks for your Uninstall disks.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, reduce the size of your CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files, or convert all DoubleSpace drives to DriveSpace drives.
