I have a "new" Philips P3120, 10 MHz system with a V20 and XTIDE. The 1st HDD is a 20 GB one (only 8 GB can be used, the 2nd HDD is a 256 MB CF card. The OS is MSDOS 6.22 US.
With FDISK I created a logical disk on the CF card and formatted it. Drive G and label EXCHANGE1. Then I used a multi-media reader to copy some files from my W10 laptop to the CF card. The laptop sees the CF card as EXCHANGE1 as well.
The problem: when sticking the card into the P3120 again and starting it up, MSDOS doesn't see it as drive G anymore. But when starting FDISK, FDISK sees the 2nd HDD, sees the logical partition and also see that it is drive G. Leaving FDISK, MSDOS says drive G doesn't exist.
I can do the whole operation with another CF card because I know this should work: I have done several times before (but not on this system). But pure out of curiosity: can someone tell me what is going on?
Thank you in advance! ---
