I got many problems writing MSDOS-fs. Everytime I wrote on it, scandisk told me about lost chains. When I forgot to use scandisk, my partition really gets bad. One time I totally screwed it up. Since then I only use MSDOS-partitions as read only...:-( This is a bad situation, I'd like to write on it, but there are so few messages about the development of MSDOS-support, so it's too dangerous for me to try it again. Maybe someone can tell me why it happens ? Or even maybe he or she can tell me if it's ok now ? Bye, Udo -- Udo Wolter, email: uwp@cs.tu-berlin.de !!!
