If we're speaking of the same LFNDOS, there are problems with it on large 
FAT32 drives... (I know, not everyone has them, but I do... ;)

For example: (from my chkdsk output)

     5,885,244 kilobytes total disk space
        95,848 kilobytes free

gives the good ol' Drive Invalid> error... At least for directories created 
in the past 6 months or so... I think I may have too many allocation units 
for the poor thing:

         4,096 bytes in each allocation unit
     1,471,311 total allocation units on disk
        23,962 available allocation units on disk

Anyone know if it's still being supported? And if so, hopefully these will 
be addressed in future versions...
