Today the problem directory is empty and the file attribs on the directory are all un-checked. Yesterday the attributes were archive and system.

I first tried it yesterday in a DOS window from windows and today from a DOS cmd prompt ( i.e. F8 as the machine boots). > Try booting from a rescue floppy, as this will put you in "pure" DOS. Tried and the response I got once I was fairly deep into the directory structure was that the directory I wanted didn't exist. I tried entering the name in CAPS and in 8.3 format but no luck with the particular directory I wanted. I was able into get into other directories but no the one I wanted.
