phil, i can't really answer your first question other than to say to install dx4win and all your software from scratch. some software you can probably copy various .ini files over--depends on what you've got. dx4win may be one of those that will work.
on the second, i run w2k with ntfs on several machines with excellent results. ntfs is a journaling file system and is much more robust than fat32. safer. you can convert a fat32 filesystem to ntfs under w2k, but it's better to just format from the beginning with ntfs during the w2k install if you're bringing up a new machine from scratch. if that's not an option, the conversion works too. 73, kenb, n5lpi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Levin W2GE" <> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 4:42 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Win2K NTFS?? > Hopefully this posts!!!
