                         RECONFIGURING STACKER 3.1 FOR
                     HARD CARDS WITH MOUNT ID WRITE ERROR
       STAC FAX 31019  (10/07/93)
       _________________________________________________________________
                                       
       BACKGROUND
       
       If you implemented a work around for a Hard Card with a "Mount ID
       Write Error," you can install updated Stacker files and reverse
       the work around to fully utilize Stacker 3.1.
       
       SOLUTION
       
       The primary work around for this error consisted of mounting the
       Hard Card's STACVOL file in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file instead of
       STACKER.INI.  Work around #1 mounted the Hard Card "replaced,"
       while work around #2 mounted the Hard Card "swapped."  Select the
       appropriate procedure to reverse your work around.
       
                           REVERSING WORK AROUND #1,
                 MOUNTING THE COMPRESSED HARD CARD REPLACED
        
        If you implemented this work around:
       
        1.  Added the line /RP=2 to STACKER.INI,
        
        2.  Deleted or commented out the Hard Card STACVOL file in
            STACKER.INI,
        
        3.  Added the line C:\STACKER\STACKER D: to AUTOEXEC.BAT, where
            D is the drive letter of your Hard Card.
        
        Do this to reverse it:
        
        1.  Run setup from disk 1 to install the updated Stacker files.
            Follow the Setup screens, and restart your system when
            prompted at the "Setup/Upgrade Complete" screen.
        
        2.  To make the proper entries in STACKER.INI, from the DOS
            prompt, type:
             
               C:\STACKER\CONFIG
        
        3.  At the prompt, "Change C:\STACKER.INI as indicated (y,N)?,"
            type:
             
               Y
        
        4.  Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Delete the line
             
               C:\STACKER\STACKER D:
           
            where D is the drive letter of your Hard Card.
        
        5.  Save the file and exit to DOS.
        
        6.  Restart your computer.
            
                           
                           REVERSING WORK AROUND #2,
                  MOUNTING THE COMPRESSED HARD CARD SWAPPED
           
        If you implemented this work around:
        
        1.  Added the line /SW=DF to STACKER.INI, where D is the drive
            letter of your Hard Card and F is the drive with which it
            swaps,
        
        2.  Replaced the Hard Card STACVOL file in STACKER.INI with an
            asterisk (*),
        
        3.  Added the line C:\STACKER\STACKER D:=F:\STACVOL.DSK to
            AUTOEXEC.BAT, where D is the drive letter of your Hard Card
            and F is the drive with which it swaps.
        
        Do this to reverse it:
        
        1.  Run setup from disk 1 to install the updated Stacker files.
            Follow the Setup screens, and restart your system when
            prompted at the "Setup/Upgrade Complete" screen.
        
        2.  From the DOS prompt, type STACKER and press <Enter>.
        
        3.  Note the drive letter of the uncompressed drive which is
            exchanged with C (your boot drive).  The drive letter is
            displayed in the far right column.
        
        4.  From the DOS prompt, type:
               
               C:\STACKER\STACINI drive:
           
            where drive: is the letter of the uncompressed boot drive.
        
        5.  Erase all entries in the STACKER.INI file.  Press Ctrl+K
            repeatedly until the file is empty.
        
        6.  Press Ctrl+Z to save the file.
        
        7.  Edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.  Delete the line:
               
               C:\STACKER\STACKER D:=F:\STACVOL.DSK
           
            where D is the drive letter of your Hard Card and F is the
            drive with which it swaps.
        
        8.  Save the file and exit to DOS.
        
        9.  Restart your computer.  The data on your compressed Hard
            Card will be temporarily unavailable.
        
        10. To rebuild your STACKER.INI file, from the DOS prompt, type:
               
               C:\STACKER\CONFIG
        
        11. At the prompt, "Change C:\STACKER.INI as indicated (y,N)?,"
            type:
               
               Y
