File Manager: Format Cannot Make Disk Label 11 Characters (91666)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
This article was previously published under Q91666 SUMMARY
When you format a disk in File Manager, the Label field in the Format Disk
dialog box may not allow you to enter a full eleven-character disk label
because Windows uses a proportional font for this field. If you choose a
wide character, such as a "w," you may only be able to fit eight characters
in the field.
If you cannot enter the necessary disk label, use the MS-DOS LABEL command
to change the disk label after you have formatted the disk.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows and Windows for
Workgroups 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here as it becomes available.
