MS-DOS Clients Report Zero Disk Space on Windows NT Server

SYMPTOMS

If you have a Windows NT computer with a hard disk that is greater than 2 gigabytes (GB), MS-DOS clients on your network may have problems running certain applications because Windows NT reports zero free disk space whether there is free space available or not. For example, WordPerfect for Windows may exhibit problems during auto-save when it finds that there is no available space on the server.

Normally, the Windows NT redirector will handle communication with an MS- DOS client in such a way that MS-DOS always perceives there to be less than 2 GB of space on any given hard disk.
