[Boost-users] very basic boost::filesystem::path question

Hi boosters

I have a very basic question. Why does path("s:/dbgdata/testdata.2") throw
the exception boost::filesystem::filesystem_error with the errormessage
"boost::filesystem::path: invalid name "s:" in path: "s:/dbgdata/testdata.2"?
It certainly looks as if I've overlooked something quite fundamental.

I'm using MSVC 8-0 Beta 2 and boost version 1.32.0.

Kind regards
