Disk space

Hi Everyone,
I had a problem related to file copy to a floppy disk. My
OS is NT 4.0. Each time when I copy files to the floppy,
it only copy upto about 200 K then it said "the disk is
full please insert another disk", even though there is
still 1.2 Mb space available in the disk. I have another
computer running window 2000. I had similar problem in
copying file to the Zip disk. In that case it only copy
to about 20 Mb, then ask for a new disk and ignore the
free space of 80 Mb in the disk. I think the cause to the
problem is mostly the same. I would appreciate any
insight and suggestion to the problem.

Thanks

Andrew

Andrew, how are you determining the size of the file being copied and
the amount of available disk space on the destination drive. May sound
like stupid questions, but I ask because there are several ways to do
each task.
