Lucky? One of the things I was *happy* about in moving from Win98SE to Win2K Pro was being able to use NTFS. IT's far more robust, and supports the concept of file ownership and permissions. (It supports hardlinks and symlinks, too.) I've spent way to much time over the years dealing with trashed FAT file systems. CHKDSK could assign orphaned clusters to files, but then what? Mostly, they'd be unusable and require deletion. When I've had NTFS filesystem issues, CHKDSK has matter of factly recovered orphaned orphaned clusters, assigned them to the files they belonged to, and recreated the directory that had problems. The only time I saw that not happen was in the case where a directory entry happened to be sitting on a bad disk block. You *can* run 2K on FAT32. I *wouldn't*. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
