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.

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.
