----------------------------------------------------------------- STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE TOO FRAGMENTED TO UPDATE A STACKER DRIVE (Applies to Stacker 4.0) STAC FAX 4008 (03-15-1994) ----------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND When you upgrade to Stacker 4.0 from a previous version, you may receive the message "This drive is too fragmented. Use the Stacker Optimizer to optimize your drive and re-run SETUP from the Stacker installation disk(s)." However, if the Setup process re-introduces fragmentation, the update may fail again. SOLUTION Do a quick Optimize, and then manually update the Stacker drive. 1. Run the quick Optimize. At the DOS prompt type: SDEFRAG /Q Even if your drive reports 0% fragmentation, continue with the optimization. 2. After the optimization is complete, from the DOS prompt type: STACKER 3. Locate the line concerning the drive that failed to update. For example: Drive C was drive C at boot time [D:\STACVOL.DSK = 115.3MB] Note the drive letter in brackets, in this case D. 4. From the DOS prompt type: HCONVERT DRIVE:\STACVOL.DSK /C Where drive: is the drive letter you noted above. 5. After the drive is updated, you should run the Optimizer to take full advantage of Stacker 4.0's improved compression. From the Stacker Toolbox in either DOS or Windows, choose Optimize, and select Full-MaxSpace. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1994 Stac Electronics
