Solve : Recycle bin VS Partitions?

1.	Solve : Recycle bin VS Partitions?
Answer» Hello, weird topic uh? As weird as my problem. Let me explain... OS: WIN2K Pro SP4 Partitions: C (win2k, ntfs) \| D (stuff, fat32) \| E (win98, fat32) Problem: when I DELETE a FILE (of any size) on partition D, the file is simply deleted and not put in the recycle bin as it should...If the same file(s) are on the others partitions and that I delete it (or them), it moves the file in the recycle bin. How to make it to work on partition D like others? Precision: In recycle bin properties, "use one setting for all drives" is on, so it should work on "D" like others partitions. It works on C and E but not on D.If drive D is a removable drive or a network drive, you cannot add a recycle bin to it in your OS. Quote If drive D is a removable drive or a network drive, you cannot add a recycle bin to it in your OS. All partitions are on the same hard disk and have been created by PMagic8. There is no removable drive or network drive. One HD, 3 partitions. Partition order on the disk are: Win98, Win2k, Stuff (contains only files, no OS) The "Stuff" partition is in FAT32 to allow both OS to have access to it. Also, it cannot be a ntfs-fat32 problem because moving in the recycle bin works both for files deleted on Win98 partition and on the Win2k partition.Try resetting each partition to local settings in Recycle Bin instead of Global and see if this works. If not run chkdsk on the offending partition. Another thing you can CHECK empty the recycle bin on C: Now open the D: partition and create a text file called test and save it to the D: partition. Delete it and return to the C: partition. Open the recycle bin and see if it is there. P.S.

Hello, weird topic uh? As weird as my problem. Let me explain...
OS: WIN2K Pro SP4
Partitions: C (win2k, ntfs) | D (stuff, fat32) | E (win98, fat32)

All partitions are on the same hard disk and have been created by PMagic8. There is no removable drive or network drive. One HD, 3 partitions. Partition order on the disk are:

The "Stuff" partition is in FAT32 to allow both OS to have access to it.
