Hi Troi, > C:\ELVIS\DOC>find /i "env" e*.htm > file list ... > Error reading from drive A: DOS area: general failure You mean it FIRST checks all files in the current directory on C: but THEN tries to jump to the A: drive? That sounds like a bug in the kernel, either in the drive status

[Freedos-user] after find, Error reading from drive A: DOS area: general failure.

I'm curious as to why FreeDOS is trying to read a:. I've built a VM in VirtualBox and most things work well, but while digging around looking for information, I got this after a FIND command. C:\ELVIS\DOC>find /i "env" e*.htm file list ... Error reading from drive A: DOS area: general
