I honestly don't know, did it come with the install disks, or has HP/Compaq created an image that resides in the first (hidden) partition that you can do a restore from? I haven't heard anything on M$ tweaking NTFS, or did they ship Vista with the new(?) WinFS? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
