I'm curious why you want case sensitivity when all Windows operations are
case insensitive. the results of case sensitive=yes are extremely difficult
to understand or describe, and they definitely bear no resemblance to what
a hard drive would do under Windows.

Are you sure you didn't want preserve case=yes and short preserve case=yes?
