I have a question very similar to the one asked previously.  When I try to
jlink to the df1: disk inorder to save pc files to 3.5", it works fine.  I
can write to it and access the files.  However, when I turn off the machine,
and boot up again, I can no longer successfully use what was saved on the 
3.5" disk.  I execute jlink e: df1:vd so that it will try to use the
existing file "df1:vd".  It successfully mounts the virtual drive.  However,
I notice that some of the files are missing or are chopped off - the jlink
to the existing virtual drive did not remount it to the right size.  I have
tried jlink e: /u to unlink it before turning off the machine, but it still
doesn't work.  Because of this, using 3.5" disks are useless - I can use them
but only for the same session that I create them.

Can anyone solve this problem or give me some insight on what's happening?

Thanks

Mark
