os2fan2 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 There's a lot of DOS proggies that can not handle a very large directory listing, like 4DOS. It's something i just avoided doing. Even installing Windows with lots of files can make DOS choke. Did you try running a cache program, like smartdrv. This can help, or running DOSSHELL in Windows.

Running SmartDrive didn't work. While Windows is capable of handling thousands of files on a FAT partition, it can only handle up to 2 GB hard disk partitions per drive. Like I said before, if I wanted to run software on a hard disks with thousands of files, I'd avoid MS-DOS Shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
