I recently purchased Superstor v2.  After compressing my hard drive with it,
I could not get the computer to boot from the hard drive or the emergency
floppy they tell you to make.  I kept getting a "protection error".
After playing phone tag with Addstor's tech support I finally got a solution
and thought I'd share it, since from what the tech support guy said, I think
this would affect anyone who uses it with DRDos 5.0.

Apparently there is a minor incompatability.  I don't think it is even
possible to make a mountable disk, but don't quote me on that.

In order to get a Superstor fixed disk to boot with DRDos 5.0, after you
install it and compress the disk, you must boot with a regular floppy, NOT
the emergency one with Superstor on it.  Find the DRDos disk that has the
"attrib.com" file and insert it in drive a:.
At the A> prompt type:  attrib c:sspartss.swp -h -s -r
then type:  ren c:sspartss.swp sspartss.add

Now remove the disk on hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and it should boot correctly from
the hard disk.

Hope this helps someone,
