>>I don't have a handle on NTFS DOS yet except it is a way around the harddrive formatting issue. As an idea, NTFSDos is simple (as opposed to its implementation, which, according to the authors at least, is highly sophisticated <g>). It's just a DOS device driver. As such it makes it's "devices" (NTFS partitions) visible in the dos environment, just as MSCDEX makes CD devices visible. Incidentally, if you run Win 3.1 (or 3.11) on top of DOS running NTFSDos, the NTFS devices are visible there, too. I find File Manager easier to work with than Dos, myself. The NTFSDOS package also includes a virtual device driver for Win 95 which you can install from a Win 95 autoexec.bat during win 95 boot up. I have a conditional in my win 95 autoexec.bat that let's me choose whether I want NTFSDos or not. BTW, I should have included NTFSDos on my list of Must Have items on a bootable DOS floppy. Spots
