Less Disk Space After Converting a Stacker Drive (95497)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
This article was previously published under Q95497
SYMPTOMS
If you convert a drive from Stacker to DoubleSpace, DoubleSpace might
show that you have less compressed disk space than you had with
Stacker.
CAUSE
This apparent disparity occurs because DoubleSpace is thoroughly
integrated with the MS-DOS operating system and can more accurately
estimate compressed disk space. In fact, you may actually have more
compressed disk space than you had before the conversion, regardless
of what was reported.
In addition, DoubleSpace continually updates its compressed disk space
estimates. As a result, as you work with a compressed drive,
DoubleSpace updates its estimates to reflect the actual current state
of file compression on your drive.
