Problem

Symptoms: A customer received a "Drive Write Protected" error when using WP with Stacker 2.0. Upon rebooting, the customer received the message "Error... Use SCHECK /F" (SCHECK is Stacker's equivalent of CHKDSK). However, after pressing any key to continue, Stacker continued through the boot and swap process, leaving the customer unable to run SCHECK on the Stacker drive.

Note: In Stacker 1.x and 2.0, the disk checking utility is called SCHECK; in Stacker 3.0, the name was changed to CHECK. Solutions: When booting a computer with a Stacker boot drive which is using SSWAP to swap the physical and Stacker drives, pressing both Shift keys immediately after the computer beeps, or immediately after pressing any key to continue, will cause Stacker to ask if the user wants to swap the drives. Pressing F10 (No) will cause Stacker to boot without swapping and will let the user access the Stacker files properly.

How/Why:
Stacker's SSWAP utility swaps the physical and logical (Stacker) drive so that an original drive C: (physical) remains drive C: after switching to the Stacker partition, which would otherwise be drive D:.
