If you're using DOS formatted disks, it's much easier to use mtools. Mtools is a collection of commands that mirror the dos filesystem commands - mcopy, mdel, mdeltree, mdir, mdu, mformat, mmd etc. See 'man mtools' for the entire list (you might have to install the mtools package first - 'apt-get install mtools'). With mtools, you can even use the DOS drive letter notation, for example 'mcopy file a:', and you don't have to worry about mounting and unmounting the disk. Matthew
