The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q186179 SYMPTOMS
When you try to use the DriveSpace tool to create a new compressed volume,
you may receive the following error message
Error:
Windows cannot examine drive <n>. You should check the
drive for errors using ScanDisk.
ID Number: DRVSPACE043
where <n> is the drive letter of a network share or a CD-ROM drive with a
CD-ROM inserted. Note that this error message occurs twice for each mapped
network drive or CD-ROM drive with a CD-ROM inserted.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because DriveSpace runs ScanDisk for Windows to check
all drives (including mapped network drives and CD-ROM drives), but
ScanDisk for Windows cannot check network or CD-ROM drives.
RESOLUTION
This problem does not affect the functionality of DriveSpace. To work
around this problem, click OK twice for each mapped network drive or
CD-ROM drive with a CD-ROM inserted. To prevent these error messages from
occurring, remove all CD-ROMs from your CD-ROM drives and disconnect all
network drives before running DriveSpace.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 98.
