This really looks weird. I tried the little program compiled on my computer on 
two others.
Always the same result (on Win2k, WinXP home)
Even Wine (stupid thing to do, run a win port of a program on wine ;-)) 
fails. But only when I'm trying to access my fat partitons other than 
C: - other (fake) drives such as h: for home and r: for / work without 
complain...

Well actually I'd classify myself somewhere below Mohan (<quote>The fact that 
I can build doesn't mean I understand</quote>)
So what do you exactly mean?
I think it's build-time error and not depending on my computer as 
runtime-enviroment
I compiled the program with the usual "gcj -o d.exe --main=DriveC DriveC.java"
Envvars are set as follwing:
MINGW_GCC_PATH=C:\Programme\thisiscool-gcc\gcc-3.3
PATH=%GCC_MINGW_PATH%\bin;%GCC_MINGW_PATH%\..\swt\win32\swt-2052;...
	(the second one for the program to find the swt-dll)
CLASSPATH=.;%GCC_MINGW_PATH%\share\java\libgcj-3.3.jar;%GCC_MINGW_PATH%\..\swt\win32\swt-2052\swt.jar;.....
	and lots to follow 'cause I'm using some xml parsing stuff from apache with 
lots of jars...
This should be all right, as far as I can guess.
