It dual boots into Windows 98 or Windows XP (not too sure how different win98se is to win98) and I have both NTFS and FAT32 partitions. Win98 is installed in a 8GB partition, but can happily see and access one of the other 20GB FAT32 partitions on my hard drive. I cannot recall whether I used Win98's FDISK to create the larger partitions, or the one under WinXP. -- Rich Mellor RWAP Services URL:http://www.rwapsoftware.co.uk URL:http://www.rwapservices.co.uk _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
