I have a friend who has just tried to install STACKER v2 onto his PS/2 30-286 - running DOS 5. It seems to have installed correctly ie. No error messages at install. The CONFIG.SYS file has been modified with the following added :- DEVICE=C:\DOS\STACKER.COM D:\STACVOL.DSK C:\STACVOL.DSK DEVICE=C:\DOS\SSWAP.COM D:\STACVOL.DSK DEVICE=C:\DOS\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC He has a hidden file called STACVOL.DSK on drive C: However, when he issues STACKER D:=C:\STACVOL.DSK the following error message appears :- D:=C:STACVOL.DSK STACVOL FILE TO FRAGMENTED - NOT MOUNTED If we TYPE STACVOL.DSK we get :- STACKER VERSION 2 VOLUME A:\STACVOL Needless to say, there is data in the stacvol.dsk file that he hasn't backed up. :-( (Typical isn't it.) Can anyone tell me what the errors mean ? (I haven't got the manual) How can I de-install stacker so as to get the data back ? Failing that, how do I defragment the file if I can't mount it ? Why if I type the file does it say A:\STACVOL ? Any help at all would be appreciated. Please e-mail. -- Peter Degotardi (__) * University of Western Sydney, Macarthur PC Support Programmer /00\ * Teaching and Services Computing Centre Fax +61 46 26-6937 oo * Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia !
