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).
