You did not mention the OS, but because you are using

how so?

Not entirely sure why, but some of the ms docs allude to the fact that
there is a linked list involved (at least for fat-style disks).


Wow! Talk about defending one's self ( me ). I took stdazi's question
to mean why I thought it was an MS OS issue. And, yes, you are correct
about the linked-list. Although, I do not know if that was the reason
for the my problem.
