Karen: NTFS is just the file system, it doesn't affect whether or not you can run DOS applications. We've been running R:Base for DOS applications on NT servers which also use NTFS, for many years without any problems. Tony ============================== Anthony Schmidt President The Computery Ltd.

Well, my love affair with Toshiba laptops has ended.  Just got a new Satellite to replace my Toshiba Win98 machine. Just for giggles, I checked the file system installed and it's NTFS.  I've read that only FAT32 will run DOS programs. Called Toshiba, they say that they never install FAT32, that there's recovery discs included where I can reformat and do it myself but it invalidates the warranty.  The reformatting isn't a big deal, I have no software loaded yet. So I want verification that all you guys running RBase DOS programs on an XP machine are using FAT32, or can you use NTFS?   If you don't know how to check, My Computer, click on hard drive, right click Properties.  It will show the file system. Karen who is really ticked off at the moment
