Hello Jim, we were saying ! 

 JH> In case of the 80 GB drive, looks to me like he would be best off
 JH> to upgrade to an OS which will support NTFS.

        First, get me an email so I will have your new addy.

        Being of limited knowledge in this regard I can only say
  that NTFS might be a fine format but it limits me in "repairing"
  my mistakes. No DOS access, I left on a limb. For that reason,
  I have gone back to FAT32 on all my HDs. Once, I got stuck with
  a programme that would not all go away and I would, in FAT32,
  just drop to DOS and gleefully Deltree the whole thing, then go
  to Regedit and clean it all up. Not so in NTFS.

        Also, I was in the habit of partitioning large HDs, I
  could not find any huge benefit to this and now I keep them
  whole. No hunting around, no Search for any one PRG.

        My inputs !

     The Barnstormer says...Bye !
