So, I'll make the suggestion you didn't want to see. Have you tried browsing the Extended Attributes database ( EADATA . SF ) for the offending name? IF you have it on a FAT file system ( or can copy/restore it to a FAT file system ), THEN you can use Norton's old DOS DISKEDIT. ELSE gee, I dunno ( I'd expect Chris Graham's Utilities to include a DISKEDIT equivalent, though ). No, it ain't easy. But, it might tell you why the folder name is found when the folder doesn't exist as a directory.

I will be migrating my warpserver onto some new hardware. I am considering moving from IDE to SCSI and would apprciate some recommendations to ease the move. I have partitions c: thru h:, warpserver on c:, another bootable install on f:. My thoughts are 1. to partition and format the new drive. 2. Install a working copy of OS/2 on f: 3. copy via network data on C:, d:, e:, g: & H:. 4. Patch the original (now copied) warpserver config.sys and add scsi support from working f: 5. Boot to warpserver on c:. 6. Copy f: across. Please point out the pitfalls, is the move to scsi warranted, I am using 10000 rpm ibm drives with 5 yr warranty in another server and they seem good. steve 10============================================== From: "Michael Block" Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 23:41:21 +1000 (EST) Subject: Re: [os2genau] Opera for OS/2 Beta Released On Mon, 23 Jul 2001 16:55:29 +0200, Kris Steenhaut wrote: > > >voytek schreef: > >> On Mon, 23 Jul 2001 12:46:10 +0200, Kris Steenhaut wrote: >> >> >> Are you saying, I need to have/install ODIN before I can try Opera ? >> > >> >Yep.
