HELP : loct my Win98 drive under PM
Hi folks,
I have recently lost my Windows 98 FAT drive under OS/2 PM and even VIO.
When I try to acces it it says :
[D:\]chkdsk d: /f
The current hard disk drive is: D:
The type of file system for the disk is FAT.
The volume label is APPLICATION.
The Volume Serial Number is E2B8-2015.
Processing cannot continue.
SYS1377: The system is unable to write to the root directory on
drive D.
[D:\]dir
The volume label in drive D is APPLICATION.
The Volume Serial Number is E2B8:2015.
Directory of D:\
SYS0278: The system cannot find the extended attribute.
When I use DirMaster I can access teh drive and see everything on it. I can
also use the drive from Windws 98 boot. The drive is FAT formated and is
accessed from OS/2 once in a while for retrieval and storage of files. I
checked the EA files and even erased it from the FAT drive and still no help.
My OS/2 is installed on F: and it is a HPFS drive, but I would still like to
access my old FAT drive..
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this one??
Thanks

How many files and directories do you have in the root directory of the
drive in question. FAT has a limitation of around 500 files that can be
kept in the root.
