    it wont create them on any MS OS. (probably on other too if they use same device names)

    Re: create con folder

    In Windows CON represents the CONSOLE device. So you won't be able to create any file/folder with this name atleast in Microsoft Windows or DOS. Try other Operating Systems.

    Did you remember to set the m_turbo switch to MAX_GRIMACE before trying this? Its a common noobie mistake, so nobody here will give you any trouble about it.

    Remove the TAB key and put it your 3 1/2 drive. Wait 7 minutes and reboot.
