2919.0. "Drivespace can't complete" by MUDGEE::ZORBAS (NULL Junior) Fri May 02 1997 13:49

    Hi,
    
    I tried DriveSpace on my C: drive.
    
    It got to 39% trying to compress BOOK*.TTF and it hung - disk light was
    full on (no blinking) and nothing happening.
    
    Rebooting just got it to the same place and it hung again.
    
    I booted from floppy and ran scandisk - which come up with NO errors!
    
    I managed to delete the file. On reboot it got to another file at the
    39% mark and has hung again.
    
    Is there any way to recover from this?
    
    Cheers,
    
    Stuart
