Congratulations

You know how you did brew your partitions?

Nothing - King Udo is dead

Provide more details:

- HD types and sizes
- partitioning
- addons used (HIMEM UDMA LBACACHE DUMBDRV ...) btw, don't use M$ addons with EDR-DOS, especially not those from ME
- at what occasion does the problem start ?
- does the BUG persist if you remove all addons ?
- does the BUG persist with 7.01.07 ?
- does the BUG persist with FAT16 ?
- does the BUG persist with only 1 disk or 1 partition ?
- does the BUG persist with FreeDOS ?
- how does the directory listing look like (shot of DIR, shot of WDE, ...)

exactly ...

see above

FYI, I DO USE EDR-DOS 7.01.08 and I DON'T have this problem. Known BUG's:

* Writing a file to FAT28 at EOF EDR-DOS sets all 32 bits to 1 , should set only 28 bits (that's why we call the "technology" FAT28 ) - don't use old versions of FreeDOS having BIG problems with those 4 extra bits

* Broken NTLFN support (use "UI21DEB N")

* Values written into FSInfo are marginally off is some cases
