The relevant portion of your AUTOEXEC.BAT might look like this:

NDD C: /Q
NDD D: /Q
NDD E: /Q
NDD F: /Q
SCHECK C: /F /D
SCHECK D: /F /D

This example assumes that you have two drives and have swapped drive
designations.  So, C: & D: are the Stacked virtual drives, and E: & F:
are the underlying physical drives.

IMO, taking this precaution becomes imperative if you have an unstable
Windows environment that tends to crash often (mine doesn't--it virtually
never crashes).
