But first, have you tried doing a full scandisk (i.e. surface scan etc.). This has fixed problems where the size of my win95 partitions are read incorrectly in Windows Explorer. This problem occurs sometimes after an improper shutdown or a crash in win95. remember to set the report option to "append to log" so you can see afterwards what errors were picked up. I have somewhat similar conflicts with linux and win95. I changed the entry on a linux partition from swap to native and that stuffed up certain files in win95 (basically, i now have sound problems). I know that this should not happen but it did. i have had a few "disk" conflicts before...weird... This, i suspect is a registry problem...maybe...i have tried everything else but reinstalling windows, or doing a complete reformat/reinstallation of linux and win95. adrian b. ------------------------------------------------------- Some oxygen molecules help fires burn while others help make water, so sometimes it's brother against brother.
