Last reviewed: May 8, 1998
Article ID: Q185302
  
  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----

The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
Macintosh operating system 8.x clients cannot copy files from CD-ROMs shared
on computers running both Windows NT Server 4.0 and Services for Macintosh.
When copying files from a CD-ROM, you receive the following error:

   File not found

CAUSE
The Macintosh client is looking for a resource fork on the shared CD volume
on a Services for Macintosh server, which it does not find and ends the
request with the error message.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0 and
Services for Macintosh version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will
post additional information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
