SYMPTOMS
========
If you are running MS-DOS 6.0 or 6.2 in a dual-boot configuration with IBM OS/2
operating system version 2.0, you cannot access any DoubleSpace volumes that are
created while running MS-DOS. Also, if the boot drive is compressed, the OS/2
dual-boot feature does not work. Instead, you may receive the following error
message:
SYS0019: The drive is currently write-protected.
CAUSE
=====
OS/2 version 2.0 is unaware of the DoubleSpace system files and does not load
them during the OS/2 boot sequence. As a result, any data or program files that
are located in the DoubleSpace volume are not accessible to the OS/2 operating
system.
IBM OS/2 version 2.0 is manufactured by a vendor independent of Microsoft; we
make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or
reliability.
