Despite doing a fle comparison between C:\command.com and C:\windows\command.com showing no differences and a system file check using system information>tools>system file check in my win98se, my directory command in command prompt and command prompt safe mode still shows garbled file/directory/volume names and invalid dates, file sizes when I access my A: drive diskettes.No problem with C: drive files or in dos window in normal windows mode. Can anyone please help me to resolve this problem? Thanks.

does this experience apply to ALL of your diskettes? try this first. get a diskette. format it. copy command.com to that diskette. view it again. tell me the results.

Make sure that Drive A: is listed in the BIOS as 1.44 Megabytes or whatever it is.

Drive A listed as 1.44 in Bios, will try format A and copy command.com to it then do a directory A and see what happens. Will let you know daves, thanks.

Hi daves, problem seemed to be solved by inserting device=c:\windows\ifshlp.sys in the config.sys but still don't know why only happens to A: diskettes and not on C: drive.
