SUMMARY

SCHECK.COM from STAC Electronics's Stacker version 1.0 is not compatible with SMARTDRV.EXE version 4.0 that comes with Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1.

If SCHECK is used with SMARTDRV.EXE loaded, the following error message appears:

   Error Summary

   Unable to determine drive containing STACVOL.000 (This may be due
   to a disk caching utility which is installed in CONFIG.SYS after
   STACKER.COM.

There are three solutions for this error:

Upgrade to Stacker version 2.0 which SMARTDRV.EXE is "aware" of.
Run SCHECK before loading SMARTDRV.EXE.
Disable SMARTDRV.EXE.
