Not sure on the version on the BH6, it is a work. I'll look at it tomorrow and advise. Why don't you want to use NTFS? Frankly I've never used anything but NTFS on NT or 2000 and can't really see why you would. There are many advantages: performance/speed, built in security, virtually unlimited partition size, ability to share data with Macs, less problems with fragmentation, to name just a few. As far as I know, all performance critical servers and workstations settle on SCSI drives and NTFS. And as far as I know RAID 1, 2, and 5 are only available on NTFS partitions. One disadvantage would be that in a dual boot environment, the NTFS volume is not accessible by Win95/98. This has never been a issue for me. Is there some reason why you don't like NTFS that I am missing? Dan
