I think it's most unlikely that they are in reality being erased, but I must admit that I don't yet understand what's happening. I'm starting to wonder what are the names of these files? You must stick to eight-plus-dot-plus-three-characters in a FAT16 filesystem. If that's not the problem, how about using the 'script' command to record absolutely everything you do, starting from formatting the stick, and let me see the result? You could send it to me privately, as a gzipped attachment if it's more than a few kbytes. > Mounting /dev/sda will still work Don't do it. 73, Ged. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
