Well, if you install NT straight out of the box, you're right, there's a tip to overcome this problem. First install NT, without this problem in mind (minimal install, it will be destroyed). Create a second partition and format it (NTFS) from disk manager. Reinstall NT on the freshly formatted NTFS partition (Leave the file system intact). Now your NT box has a correct NTFS formatted disk. Eric -- Any opinions expressed above | Murphy's Law Corollary : are my own, not Kisoft's | Murphy was an optimist.
