Boa noite, Marcos It has been said in this list:
>> (Mateusz) >> Simple: FAT16 doesn't support partitions bigger than 2GiB. >> So, you have to choose: >> - either you are sticking to FAT32 >> - or you use only 2GiB partitions (for eg. 2 or 3 partitions on the drive, >> with each one having 2GiB max.) >>> (Liam) >>> You do know that the maximum legal size for a FAT16 partition is 2GB? >> (Alain) >> FAT16 has been answered. >>The ilegal files that you have are just files with a bad name, contents >>may even be ok. I had this problem many times in the past, you just have >>to find a trick that works :) example: move all other files to another >>directory and erase the directory, find a wildchar-name that matches it >>and delete or rename it... just a little inventiveness. >>It is probably a file that has a char in the name that the commands do >>not acept, but if it was copied, it can be referenced in some way... However, you said: >Yes, I realize that each FAT16 partition can only be 2 GB. I was >trying to have 3 partitions in the 6 GB disk. >For lack of a better term, I'm calling "illegal" those >folders or files that: > - appear out of nowhere > - have strange names including unprintable characters and > fragments of text from existing files > - cannot be erased or moved > - ironically, *can* be copied to other hard disks My 2ยข: Perhaps you tried a partition too large, for the FAT16 exact maximum (from Microsoft documentation) is 65524 clusters, which means a little under 2 GB with 32 KB size clusters. I suggest you try four partitions. I also did see files with bad names, but I know their origin: cookies from my ISP, which seems to be trying to make them invisible and indelible. Your files seem to be coming out of nowhere, and this is a problem in itself, whether or not they have odd names. Also, did you look at their sizes? Many are reported to have >1GB, and they sum to more than the disk's capacity ( unless NDN and nicscan use the comma in the portuguese way, but then there are files containing fractions of a byte ). Did you see such files when the disk was in use with Windows 98? Another point: Did you try to use other configurations, say, without LBAcache or without 4dos to see whether these files continue to appear?
