Hello all,


I am posting the for my brother who does not have access to the net:
(Say hello to Scott everybody!)  He is having problems with virtual
drives on his PC side.  Here is the configuration:

	Amiga-2000
	Cltd Hardrive, mounted on the Amiga side
	BridgeBoard
	1meg mem

Just recently he had a problem with his virtual drive locking up his entire
machine.  Whenever a write occured to the drive, it would spin forever and
the mouse/everything would freeze.  After some fiddeling, we gave up
the file as lost and I told him to just create a new one.  This was done
with the following command: (MS-dos side)

	jlink e: jh0:ms.vd0 /opt s10000  

(Hmmm, I am not sure how the option part should look, but we did it so that
 there was 10000 k's of disk allocated)

He was then able to use the drive as normal and loaded all his software
back up.  The next day however, he came back, jlinked up and the drive
told him that it was not an MS-dos disk.  We tried it two more time and
got the samething.  Could anyone tell me what is going on here?  Is there
a conflict with using FFS and ms-dos virtual files?  PLEASE!
