It seemed like a better choice than FAT since it was supposed to have better caching and a newer filesystem. It could also be accessed from Linux and DOS. I can't remember when Microsoft broke support for HPFS, was it 2000 or XP? Anyway, I always thought it strange that the HPFS driver was called pinball.sys. I wonder what kind of story that has behind it. Doug -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
