I have my local OS files on my HD, and a mapped network drive to my old OS/old computer. I wanted to compare them, so I have two search windows in Explorer open, with one window for each drive. I open a command prompt, to do an "FC /B" and drag and drop the two files, and the command prompt says that it cannot open the file on the mapped drive.
I also noticed that right-clicking the file and selecting properties, will not show me the version number of a .SYS file, on the mapped drive. Since when did files need to be local to use that feature???
I don't see how permissions could be the problem, as I am running FAT32 on all the drives in question.
Hmm, WinDiff says that sptd.sys and sptd3373.sys on the mapped drive are unreadable. I wonder why that is. All the other files in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers are readable.
