Not at all sure about this but does NT 3.5 use the Extended FAT system like Windows 95? If so it may (and probably does) have to do with the way W95 creates long filenames. It uses multiple FAT entries to hold the extended file name, with the extras containing some "impossible" set of attribute flags set. If 2.0.5 doesn't know about these special entries then it'd complain about the drive. If 3.5 doesn't see these special entries then it'd complain also. Just an educated guess... - Walter
