Each of the above operations is atomic, so what the **** is a write 
pointer? You're barely making sense, so it's hard to argue against 
you. 

The FAT32 system apparently (see posts by other posters upthread)
writes each new file at the lowest cluster it can. That's from
where A has been. This is in agreement with all the prior FAT 
systems that I have been familiar with.

If you can't work out how and where you're wrong given this 
information, I simply don't have the time and patience to spoon
feed you any more. Perhaps try on comp.i.dont.have.a.clue ?
