Re: How can I report a bug to Microsoft , regarding Windows XP ?

So open floppy disk Properties and type in label desired, the formatting is complete already.

Well , while formatting a diskette , Windows XP does not warn the user that
he/she has to enter more than 11 characters .

I am not talking about me , I am talking about every simple user who doesn't know that - I recommend to block the user from entering more than 11 characters for Volume label *before* formatting (but in the format diskette window) . Block by making this textbox 11 characters max .

I know it is , but why don't let the user type the Volume label correctly first ,
and *only then* format the disk , instead of formatting the disk *first* , and then tell the user that he/she doesn't enter the volume label correctly ?

Hi

11 characters is the maximum for a volume label.

Ok :

My computer -> choosing A:\ drive (Floppy Disk) , mouse right click ->
Format -> When choosing a volume label greater than 11 letters , it
*first* formats the diskette and *then* tells that the Volume label is invalid .
One should not know that (that a volume label's max. length is 11 characters) ,
and the user has to know that *before* Windows XP starts formatting the diskette .

Thanks in advance ,
Lior .

Hi

it may have already been reported - what is the problem. You can't report 'bugs' directly to MS.

Hi .

How can I report a "bug" (don't know if to call it a bug) to Microsoft ,
regarding Windows XP ? (an email address which I could describe the bug there ?)

Thanks in advance,
Lior .
