Help! My Drivespace 3 disk has un-mounted itself (?) and I can't access anything on my c:\ drive. I'm having to use a system disk!! I think there is a way of doing it, but I don't have a clue what it is. Please help me!! Thanks!!

Your C:\ drive is a compressed volume file (cvf) looks like this> Drvspace.000 Which is stored in your host drive. Now which is either H:\ or j:\ or other. Not sure myself how to mount this file but I found this. Mount the disk with the command like scandisk /mount H:\drvspace.001 H is Your Host drive. Or maybe you have to load your drvspace.bin
