Hi Tom, Here are the results you asked. Tests were done in a Compaq Armada E500.
> is that reproducable with COPY/XCOPY ? Yes. I changed the kernel back to 16 bits and copied about 200 files with COPY and XCOPY. The errors appeared as before. I also decompressed some zip files, just to check once more, and the errors appeared too. I have screen captures of ChkDsk, but because they have strange characters in them I'm sending them as an attached zip file. In all three cases, the files could be deleted, and the remainder of the file system returned to normal. > is that reproducable with empty config.sys/autoexevc.bat ? No. I skipped fdconfig.sys and fdauto.bat with the F8 key, and repeated the same copies with COPY and XCOPY. This time there were no errors!
