This article was previously published under Q129716 SYMPTOMS
When you try to install Windows 95 on a computer running the ITT XtraDrive
disk compression software you receive the following warning:
*******************************************************************
The following program(s) or driver(s) are running on your computer.
Windows may not install or run correctly with these programs. It
is recommended that you close these programs before continuing with
Setup. To remove these programs, you may have to modify your
AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files. When you are done, restart your
computer, and then run Setup again. For more information, see
SETUP.TXT on Setup Disk 1 or the Windows CD-ROM.
Click OK to continue with Setup or click Cancel to Quit Setup, and
then remove these programs.
XTRADRIVE.SYS ITT XtraDrive Software
*******************************************************************
CAUSE
This warning is somewhat misleading. The problem detected is that the ITT
XtraDrive software is configured to use write caching.
RESOLUTION
Cancel Setup and reconfigure XtraDrive to disable write caching. Once you
have disabled XtraDrive's write caching, Windows 95 Setup will run
correctly. For information about how to disable write caching in XtraDrive,
please refer to the XtraDrive documentation.
MORE INFORMATION
XtraDrive is manufactured by Integrated Information Technology, a
vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
