I had this problem when i installed 1999 with it reformatting my drives. The problem is it didn't recognize the partition geom right. My problem was i had a 2 gig partition, it was formatted as if it were 1 gig, and its max files were only 65k of them. So when i tried to have more then 65000+ files on this drive, it still had space, but no blank table entries for the new files. whoops. Im not sure what caused it, but what i did was put the files on another drive(s), reformat the drive (which did it right (?)), and move them back. I'd like to think there is a better solution. Ideas? Hope this helps. Good luck. -- Joseph P.
