SYMPTOMS

If you use DriveSpace 3 to compress drive C on a computer on which the System Command 2000 boot manager software by V Communications is installed, you receive the following error message when you reboot the computer:

Boot 2>
Boot 2> error, cannot run system commander: Missing SYSCMNDR.SYS
Partition 0* ID=06 (FAT)
Partition 1 ID=05= (Extend)

CAUSE

The System Commander 2000 system files must reside on the host drive, not the compressed drive.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, reinstall System Commander 2000 on the host drive for the compressed volume (typically, the host drive is drive H).

MORE INFORMATION

When you install System Commander 2000, it warns you not to install it on a compressed drive. If you compress the drive after installing System Commander 2000, you do not receive a warning message. For additional information, see the following V Communications Web site:
