NT 3.1 and NT 3.5 won't even acknowledge this file system. And the ATAPI.SYS file they used is a joke. The first thing you need to do when you install NT is to install a new ATAPI.SYS that would at least see all your partitions. Windows 2000 is far better in this respect, but it's a bloated pig. And I won't even talk about XP. Minimum memory required for XP is 128 Megs. And this license bullsh*t is just an insult to the consumers. Thank the Heavens for Linux! -- Ted
