kbusage
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to access a filename on a CD-ROM that is in lowercase, the following error message appears:

File not found.

The same is true when you attempt to access a directory in lowercase.


CAUSE

ISO 9660 defines uppercase filenames only. The Windows NT CD-ROM file system (CDFS) adheres to this and therefore expects names to be in uppercase.


STATUS

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
