Unable to Create Folder on an NTFS Partition (189527)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2
- Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.1
- Microsoft Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.5
This article was previously published under Q189527 SYMPTOMS
When you try use your Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2-based computer to
create a new folder on a Microsoft Windows NT Server-based computer's NTFS
partition, you may receive the following error message:
Unable to create directory.
This problem may occur even though you have full file permissions to the
folder in which the new folder is being created.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if you do not have full file permissions to a
parent folder under which the new folder is being created. In Windows 95
OEM Service Release 2 (OSR2), the full path is verified when a new folder
is created, so if you do not have permissions at one of the folder levels
in the path, the error message is generated.
RESOLUTIONSTATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
