SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to run Windows for Workgroups Network Setup, you receive the
following error message:

To place the new version of these files in your Windows directory instead of
on the floppy disk, choose the Cancel button.
When you choose the Cancel button, you may receive the following error message:
Windows Setup cannot find or write to the drive where the CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT files are located. CONFIG.SYS will be saved as
C:\WINDOWS\CONFIG.SYS.

of your hard disk. The maximum number of files and directories in the root
directory is 512.
