Are you sure the disc is formatted with a filesystem that allows for lowercase characters? The ISO 9660 standard is a least common denominator standard, which means 8+3 characters, case insensitive. UDF, Juliet, and RockRidge allow for different semantics, but they all have their quirks too (Juliet is also case insensitive, for one, and that's the format most versions of Windows will read, if multiple filesystem headers are present. Adaptec/Roxio burning software may change this to UDF on install, but that's not entirely reliable). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
