Re: Want to log bug against windows xp

Thanks a lot again.

Its not happening in XP Professional.

Please go thorugh below mentioned scenario.

Machine Configuration is:
Win XP Pro EN 32-bit
Hard disk: 40G

I installed XP Professional on C: drive the size is 10GB, In the unallocated
space in the hard drive i have created two 15GB data drive like D: and E:.

In D:\ i have created a shared folder name called 'VMWares' in which i have
kept some VMWares, due to the space constrain i want to have entire 30GB as a
single drive so i have deleted the drives D: and E:.

From Manage computer i have created a single 30GB drive called D:.
Then i open My Computer and open D: drive and created a folder called
'VMWares' the same shared folder name which i had before creating the new
single Drive.

As soon as i created this new VMWares folder the OS automatically shared
this folder.

Observation:

Eventhough you have formatted and created a new drive it happens.

OS atomatically shared the new folders with the same shared folder name
which we had before deleting and formatting the drive.

So as per my use case its a bug.

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Thanks a lot for reply back.

I have couple of questions which i have mentioned below.

What will happen if delete an existing data drive(other than System drive)
through Manage computer?

Is there any place the OS will store all the files and folders information
which were presented in the deleted data drive?

Hi,

I am Karthikeyan S, as a Tester.

I want to log a bug against windows XP. It would be great if any one
provide
a link where i can report and discuss about my issues in Microsoft.com

Regards,
Karthikeyan S

Since the vast majority of problems perceived as "bugs" are
based on misunderstandings or insufficient knowledge, it
would be best if you presented your findings in this forum
for discussion before submitting them to Microsoft as a
bug report.
