SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to access a filename on a CD-ROM that is in lowercase, the following error message appears:
File not found.

The same is true when you attempt to access a directory in lowercase.

CAUSE

ISO 9660 defines uppercase filenames only. The Windows NT CD-ROM file system (CDFS) adheres to this and therefore expects names to be in uppercase.

STATUS

This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
