>>I have successfully run the set-up wizard (for the first time) and it created 7 disk images (1.44MB). Each disk image is contained in a folder, which I opened, selected all files, and attempted to copy to a blank 1.44MB floppy. All went well until got an ACCESS DENIED/FULL disk message. That seems odd, since the wird is set up to create images to transfer to floppies. Same story on the other folders and associated blank floppies. st have a major misconception going on here. Help please.

>How many files are going to the disk. DOS only allows 224 files to the root of a floppy disk. The setup knows this and only allows 224 files to be copied to a disk folder. Problem is the if you have a disk label on the floppy disk then you can only copy 223 files and you get an error message. Fix is to remove all disk labels from the floppy disks before copying to them.

Something not-so-funny is going on here. After I posted my plea, I poked around in MicroSoft's Knowledge Base and found document #Q139363, which is a bug reference. It states that the setup wizard underestimates actual file sizes, because part of the file is in memory when file size is calculated. They say a work-around of the problem is to disable disk caching by commenting such lines out from the config file. Trouble is, it didn't help. I am copying way less than 200 files to each disk. At the DOS level I get an INT 24 error, and I'm using brand new disks; have even tried several different new disks. Microsoft also mentioned they're looking into the problem. I have even selected the 1.2MB option, but I get the same ACCESS DENIED message. I'm stumped.
