Actually NT can and does use AUTOEXEC & CONFIG. In fact you can provide
each DOS app its own AUTOEXEC.NT and CONFIG.NT in a PIF . Its all part
of the beauty of the environmental subsystems of NT. NTVDM in case of DOS.
Although Scandisk is not necessary in properly configured NT. But why not
use NTFS like someone suggested. ??
