Greetings,

After installing PowerQuest Drive Image 5 and Partition magic 7 on my computer. I copy both directory into a cd-rom using WINONCD 3.8 (I want to run these programs using cd instead of floppy). After doing a DIR under DOS (boot up from a Win98 startup floppy w/ cdrom support). It display both directory as follow

d:\Powerq~1
drivei~1 0
partiti~1 0

Note after the numeral 1 there is a space and a numeral zero.

When I type:
cd drivei~1

I receive a message something like "Directory doesn't exist, Invalid directory or something similar" Abort? Retry? Fail etc.

Does anyone have an idea how I can access to these two directories?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

That is a result of long file names which DOS doesn't like. Try renaming those directories to 8.3 names.
