SYMPTOMS
When upgrading Windows NT version 3.1 to Service Pack 2 on a Magneto Optical drive or any removable drive, the Update program reports there is not enough space available when there is space left on the disk.



CAUSE
The Win32 API that determines drive type informs the Update program that the drive is DRIVE_REMOVABLE; the Update program considers it to be a floppy, so the free space check ends up incorrect.



RESOLUTION
No resolution is available at this time.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
