I found unaccepatable source-corde in "FileSystemView.java" as follows...

           /**
            * Returns all root partitians on this system. On Windows, this
            * will be the A: through Z: drives.
            */
           public File[] getRoots() {
               Vector rootsVector = new Vector();
                                                                                
               // Create the A: drive whether it is mounted or not
               WindowsFloppy floppy = new WindowsFloppy();
               rootsVector.addElement(floppy);
                                                                                
               // Run through all possible mount points and check
               // for their existance.
               for (char c = 'C'; c <= 'Z'; c++) {
                   char device[] = {c, ':', '\\'};
                   String deviceName = new String(device);
                   File deviceFile = new File(deviceName);
                   if (deviceFile != null && deviceFile.exists()) {
                       rootsVector.addElement(deviceFile);
                   }
               }
               File[] roots = new File[rootsVector.size()];
               rootsVector.copyInto(roots);
               return roots;
           }



           /**
            * Fake the floppy drive. There is no way to know whether
            * it is mounted or not, and doing a file.isDirectory or
            * file.exists() causes Windows to pop up the "Insert Floppy"
            * dialog. We therefore assume that A: is the floppy drive,
            * and force it to always return true for isDirectory()
            */
           class WindowsFloppy extends File {
               public WindowsFloppy() {
                   super("A" + ":" + "\\");
               }
                                                                                
               public boolean isDirectory() {
                   return true;
               };
           }


NEC PC use System-Drive for A:
and use Floppy-Drive for C;

so,under current JDK1.2, we cannot get satisfied
behavior with JFileChooser.

'b:' in the swing file chooser(JFileChooser) on NEC PC-9821.
