                            (Boots into a program)

      BACKGROUND
      
      If the Stacker Optimizer (SDEFRAG) was interrupted during the
      "Optimizing files..." stage of optimization, Stacker pauses the
      normal startup of your computer with a message like this:
      
          E: = C:STACVOL.DSK Restart during Stacker Optimizer detected
          (Write protected)
          Press any key to continue...
      
      SOLUTION
      
      You can correct the situation by running the Stacker Optimizer
      again so it can put the Stacker drive back in order. You will
      need to restart your system under DOS. When booting, if DOS puts
      you directly into a program, do the following:
      
       1.  Insert Stacker for OS/2 & DOS Disk # 1 into drive A and
           restart your computer.
       2.  If your compressed drives are not available, go to the A
           prompt and type:
           CONFIG <Enter>
           When prompted to accept the changes, press Y for yes.
       3.  When the A prompt returns, restart your system with Stacker
           Disk # 1 still in the drive.
       4.  From the A prompt type:
           SDEFRAG drive: <Enter>
           where drive is the Stacker drive that is write protected.
       5.  When the Disk Optimization screen is displayed, choose
           Optimize Drive Now, and follow the instructions on the
           screen. The Optimizer will repair and restart your system.
       6.  Run CHECK /F on the Stacker drive before running the Stacker
           Optimizer again.
           
      UNABLE TO REPAIR FATS, #139   /   UNABLE TO REPAIR FATS, #86
      
      If SDEFRAG is not able to repair the Stacker drive, you'll get
      one of these messages. It means that both copies of the File
      Allocation Table (FAT) have been corrupted. Some data is already
      lost, but this procedure will save the remaining data on your
      disk.
      
       1.  Insert STACKER disk # 1 into its drive. Go to that drive and
           type:
           CHECK /=A /F <Enter>
           where drive is the Stacker drive that is write protected.
       2.  When CHECK offers to repair the drive, let it.
       3.  When CHECK offers to delete damaged files, respond NO.
       4.  Restart you computer and run CHECK /F again. Let it delete
           any files still reported as damaged. Then use your most
           recent backup to restore missing files.
