I've got 16MB RAM, 486DX2 66mhz, 540Meg HD. The problem isn't with the HFV
drives, it's with the regular PC drive, i.e. C: D: and any other PC drive
that's attached. Whenever I have the problem accessing drive C, it only
reads the drive for a few seconds and then pauses for about 2 minutes.
After this incredibly LONG pause the window showing the root directory of
the drive shows up. It's almost as if Executor reads all the file info on
the drive (names, sizes, etc.), maybe to sort it or something, before it
displays it. I've tried this on two different computers (the other is a
P100) and both have the same problem. I'm running Win95 on both machines,
but I have the same problem when I boot in DOS mode (don't load Win95).
