NDN+NTFS

[GameHunter 0]

Hi. I'm trying to configure a bootable diskette or CD based on Win 98 system files to have an access to NTFS volume. For this I load DOSLFN driver and then NTFSDOS 5.0 (+ system files from WinXP sp2 en, alternative nmemory manager).

(I should use DOSLFN because if it is missed, not all files are seen at the NTFS volume.)

 

In this mode NDN ver. 2.15.4000 can browse the NTFS volume but when I copy a file from NTFS to other volume, NDN freezes.

 

Please help me to solve this problem.

 

Best regards,

GH.

Hello!

 

there are a few things you might try:

a) use another file manager and try if it works

B) try to disable the long file names in NDN

c) try the last beta versions (last one is 4950)

 

if this doesn't help, post again

Hi again.

 

I've tried several file managers (dn, vc 4.00 and 4.99).

From my obsercations, file managers not supporting long file names natively

non't see several files and folders at NTFS volume (with and without DOSLFN).

NDN /nolfn don't see it too.

From my several experiments all files and directories are only seen by

doslfn+ntfsdos+(file manager supporting LFN). Unfortunately all such file managers

are not bugs free, and this is a problem. Last NDN version is the same as the last stable

ndn version in this aspect.

 

May be the problem is in drivers because some native DOS commands like copy don't work

properly too. But dir command shows all correctly...

 

Sincerely yours, GH.

hi!

 

then, i think, we found the solution.

 

it's a driver problem and not NDNs,

if even the DOS copy command also doesn't work

 

if you want you can try to contact the DOSLFN developers about that problem (if possible).

they may have a solution.

at the very end, you might send me your boot disk and i could try to find the problem.

 

but i cannot guarantee when or if i can solve it.
