TITLE   :MAKE35.BAT and MAKE525.BAT Fail When Run From File Manager
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
 
 - U.S. Service Pack 1 for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server
   version 3.1

To make 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch disk images after downloading CSD525.EXE
or CSD35.EXE (from CompuServe, MSDL, or FTP.MICROSOFT.COM), MAKE35.BAT
or MAKE525.BAT must be run with a drive letter parameter. If either of
these two files is run by double-clicking the file in File Manager,
the process appears to fail after the following message:
 
NOTE: In addition, the disk images must be stored in a directory that
subscribes to the FAT "8.3" naming convention (where there are no more
than 8 characters before the period and three after).

   Do you have five formatted 3.5 1.44 floppy Diskettes ?
   Enter [y]es or [n]o to continue [yn]
 
After you enter y for yes, the screen flashes and returns to File
Manager. The following message is displayed, but it is displayed too
quickly to be seen just before the window closes:
 
   In order to complete the creation process, MAKE35 needs to know
   the drive letter where the floppy diskettes will be located.
   for example : MAKE35 A:      if your 3.5 drive is A:
      -or-       MAKE35 B:      if your 3.5 drive is B:
 
   Please rerun MAKE35 with the appropriate options.
   MAKE35 will now exit.
 
If you still want to run the batch file from File Manager, highlight
the file, select Run from the File menu and add the drive letter of
the correct floppy drive to the command line.
