Hi. In a command prompt under Winblows, the filenames are displayed like that. When you view them in Winblows itself the files appear as long filenames. I believe that this has to do with the fact that the msdosfs only likes 6 character filenames. Have you tried mounting the xp fs as fat vfat or ntfs to see if the filenames are displayed properly? Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sick of Winblows! On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, Raul A. Gallegos wrote: > Hey gang.
