As far as I can tell, it's only fairly recently -- since UEFI and SecureBoot became common -- that Windows >=10 does this by default. If a machine has UEFI with Secure Boot then it won't boot DOS anyway, so that strongly points to the machine you tried on being older. > Many years ago, I tried all the DOS NTFS drivers.

The Paragon NTFS driver for Linux has now been built into the Linux kernel, since version 5.15: https://www.theregister.com/2021/09/06/github_merges_useless_garbage_says/ It does full read/write. I've tested it and it works great. You can even install Linux onto an NTFS partition! https://www.theregister.com/2021/11/22/install_linux_on_ntfs/ (That is one of my articles.) -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
