While this holds true, I now read the whole thread and learnt
that this does not apply to you as you *are* trying to access
a FAT partition in a logical drive... Stupid me...

I can think now only of a driver conflict. I think a PARTINFO
(download from Powerquest) listing of your partitioning and
CONFIG.SYS/AUTOEXEC.BAT would help. Try:

PROMPT $N$G
c:

and please tell the exact error message (if there will be any).
