Did you try to run TT's drvchk or drvlink on that "drive"?
No.
I did a recursive copy of the entire qxl.win. The old qxl.win was
perfectly readable and copied to a new qxl.win of the same size
without problem. I actually used an old program of mine (The Copier)
and dates weren't important, I don't think The Copier preserves dates
(if it does, more by luck than judgement).
I seem to be up and running again, anyhow.
Regarding fragmentation, I was thinking more of the directory than
fragmentation of the qxl.win itself. I don't know how adding and
deleting files in the qxl.win works. Suppose X is a deleted file and
you have files arranged like this:
file1
X
file2
X
file3
If a new file is created, is it always placed at the end of the
directory (i.e. after file3 int he example) or does the filing system
locate the first free slot (in this case the X between file1 and
file2)?

Betreff: [Ql-Users] qxl.win
I've run into an unusual program with my WIN1_ (a QXL.WIN)
which I have been unable to resolve.
DIR WIN1_ gives 84847/1048560 sectors, it's a 512MB QXL.WIN, with
11,716 files on it.
Despite reporting 84847 sectors free it says Drive Full. Deleting
one
file will let me save one file normally, then it runs into Drive
Full
next time I try to save anything. So it's not as if it's write
protected, for example.
Anyone any idea what's happening? Could I have run into the maximum
number of files a QXL.WIN file might hold, for example (directory
full)?
It was running on a pen drive, so I tried copying it to C: drive and
using it from there with QPC's win1_ pointing to C:\QXL.WIN. Same
result.
Next step will be create a new blank QXL.WIN and copy
everything there
to see if that gives the same result (i.e. checking for fragmented
qxl.win?)
Help!
