Problem

Solutions: DR DOS has an analog compression device, SSTORDRV.SYS, that is loaded into the CONFIG.SYS file. This device compresses files on the hard drive to give the users twice the hard disk space. If users remark (REM) the SSTORDRV.SYS (dated 08/91) device driver or boot vanilla without this device, they will lose the FAT table (File Allocation Table) because it converts back to normal disk compression and the customer loses all data on the hard drive, just as if it had been formatted.
