Re: [newbie] Reading Win32 drive
Any file I click on...xls, mpeg, avi, txt, etc. I fact after I click on it it disappears from the directory. Yet when I try xls from floppy it opens OpenOffice perfectly. And shouldn't it be able to tell the size of the files?

Re: [newbie] Reading Win32 drive
Can't copy file. As soon as I click on the file it disappears. If I change directories and then return, file is there. Even directories disappear when clicked. (Have directory called ISO and it disappears when clicked).
