(HTML-formatted mail in Arial font size 2 on white background, but wtf...) Joel, you are by no means the first to ask this: http://www.google.com/search?q=ntfs+site%3Afd-doc.sourceforge.net There are NTFS drivers for DOS, some of them in style of a file manager which can access NTFS, some of them even allowing the NTFS drive to be accessed like a normal drive letter. Most free solutions only allow READING files, not writing. As far as I remember, one of the commercial DOS drivers now is completely free for PRIVATE use, including WRITE access to NTFS drives: http://www.datapol.de/dpd/prod/ntfs4dos/ (in German, use Babelfish or similar tools to translate...) In any case this does not allow you to BOOT from NTFS drives. You can boot FreeDOS from floppy, CD-ROM, network, some people even manage to boot it from USB sticks. And of course from harddisk. I suggest that you create a small (33 MB or so) FAT16 (LBA) partition for DOS, if possible. NTFSRESIZE will allow you to shrink NTFS drives for that purpose. Then you can install DOS on that partition, add the NTFS4DOS driver, and access your 33 GB of other stuff on the NTFS partitions from that tiny 33 MB DOS FAT partition.
