It can be found at sysinternals.com as well as many other useful utilities. A read only version is free, read/write is $39 I believe. It installed just fine and gave a drive letter to my FAT32 partition. The read only version treats the volume just like a read only CD, if you try and write to it, it gives you an error. I don't use it everyday, but it is great when there is something you want off of your fat32 volume. BTW, I solved my previous multiboot question without disturbing the WIN98 install. I used PM to create 2 additional primary partitions: Fat16 for DOS, Fat16 for NT (will be NTFS after install) and left the FAT32 for the existing WIN98. I then made them active partitions one at a time, and hide the others and installed NT to one and DOS to the other. I then installed System Commander to the DOS partition and it recognized Win98 and the NT install. Everything boots fine now and I saved the WIN98 install. I assume Boot magic would work equally as well. The only thing I still need to research is the restrictions on how far into the drive a primary partition can be and still be bootable by NT and WIN98. I had some minor problems with this, but got it solved by moving things around. If anyone knows what exactly this restriction is, please respond. Good Luck Dan
