Earlier this evening I needed a particular font that I knew was on my old Office 97 CD. I put the CD in the drive, but could not find the fonts directory when I opened the CD Drive in "my computer". So I did a search on the CD - the search function found the directory, but reported it as being a sub directory of My Documents - even though the C; drive, where the "My Documents" fold resides - was excluded from the search. So I loaded ACDSee and went browsing on the CD. It showed me the fonts directory, would load the files and show the fonts, but would not copy them to the C: drive - kept saying it could not read from the specified device.
I finally had to run the command prompt and do an old fashioned copy d:\valupack\msfonts\*.* c:\windows\fonts to put the blasted files where they belong - and that worked fine.
And they say GUI's make things easier!

Hi all,
I have just put another drive into my PC -- a Samsung 65 Gb. I was running out of space and needed to do something in a hurry.
So: Instead of using fdisk, as I've always done in the past, I partitioned the drive with Partition Magic which seemed to do the job in a flash. I chose FAT32 over NTFS because I use WIN 98 as well as XP professional (plug-in C: drives).
Now: I have transferred about 5 Gb of scans (.JPG, .PSD, .TIF etc) to one of the drives and all seems well. I can open files and copy them and work on them. BUT ... when I look at the properties of the two partitions (G: and H:) the file format is RAW. Now this has never happened before and this is the first time I've added a drive to the PC since I installed XP at least a year ago. What do the experts amongst us have to say about this? Shall I go on, or stop now and reformat the drives? They seem to behave quite normally and it may be that some id data in the FAT table may be telling XP that it's 'RAW' when it's not. Could this be a Partition Magic glitch?
