SYMPTOMS
When you copy files to a floppy disk using File Manager, you receive the
following error message:
The destination drive is full.
Insert a new disk to continue
CAUSE
Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and 3.11
This problem occurs under Windows for Workgroups 3.1 and 3.11 when the
total file size exceeds the available space on the destination disk (so
that a second disk is required to complete the copy procedure).
When you check the files on the first disk, you find that the date and time
stamps of all the files copied have been changed to reflect the current
system date and time. Even if you cancel this procedure, the date and time
stamps of those files copied to the first disk are modified.
Windows 3.1 and 3.11
This problem occurs under Windows 3.1 and 3.11 when the destination floppy
disks contain the same directory name as the source directory.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows versions 3.1 and
3.11 and Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1 and 3.11. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
