Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

                        DRVSPACE /CREATE ── Examples
 
To create a new compressed drive that uses all available space on
uncompressed drive E, type the following command:
 
    drvspace /create e: /reserve=0
 
To create a new compressed drive by using 10 MB of space on uncompressed
drive E, type the following command:
 
    drvspace /create e: /size=10
 
To create a new compressed drive by using space on uncompressed drive D, and
to direct DriveSpace to leave 2.75 MB of free space on drive D, type the
following command:
 
    drvspace /create d: /reserve=2.75
 
The following command creates a new compressed drive by using all but 2 MB
of the space on drive D:
 
    drvspace /create d:
 
Because the command includes neither the /RESERVE switch nor the /SIZE
switch, DriveSpace uses the default value for the /RESERVE switch and leaves
2 MB of space on drive D.
