But I'm not sure. Traditionally partition > c is the "entire" disk. David, thanks for your feedback. However, whether I use /dev/fd0a or /dev/fd0c in the mount command, e.g.: #mount -t msdos /dev/fd0c /a when I do #cp -p file.name /a I still get: cp: chown: /a/file.name: Invalid argument panic: msdosfs_unlock: denode not locked and of course my system reboots. (This is 2.0R and I am logged on as root.) Cp works o.k. if I omit the -p but then of course the file copied to the floppy has a new date/time of modification, not what I wanted. Any ideas what's causing this? Thanks. <> ------------------------------------------------- Bill Lee E-mail: billlee@freenet.edmonton.ab.ca Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
