Hi,
I have a setup CD I burnt with Nero 5.5 that has a bunch of W98
directories (folders) with long names.
When I boot from a DOS diskette, I see the folder names in short
format, like this:
CHATTO~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
FILETO~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
GENERA~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
HWTOOLS <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
INTERN~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
KIDSTUFF <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
MEDIAT~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
NETWOR~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
PEFORM~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
PICTUR~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
SECURI~1 <DIR> 02-06-03 8:38a
Now I tried to make a new one, and something has changed!
In Windows I still see the long names, but in DOS boot I get
folder names like this:
CHATTOOL <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
FILETOOL <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
GENERALT <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
HWTOOLS <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
INTERNET <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
KIDSTUFF <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
MEDIATOO <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
NETWORKI <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
PEFORMAN <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
PICTURET <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
SECURITY <DIR> 07-30-04 12:48a
What is worse is that in DOS, I cannot get into those
directories. If I try to do CD GENERALT, it says that there is
no such directory!
I don’t know what caused this, so I have tried to change
settings hoping to correct it… I have tried ALL combinations
in Nero of ISO Level 1 or 2, and Track Mode 1 or 2, but in
none of them do I get the tilde format DOS file names.
When I used Track Mode 2 at least I was able to CD, apparently
the names were REALLY those short forms, but How do I get back
what I used to have?
Thank you for your help!
