The CD is bootable but does not run a setup program. Instead a "live" version of the OS is loaded, running from the CD itself. Quite useful with various bits of hardware. After foolishly formatting a USB thumb drive as NTFS, several months later I found that the filesystem had become corrupt. Simply inserting it into an XP or W2K system would cause a blue screen error as the microsoft NTFS driver choked. Choked with BartPE as well. A Linux bootable CD had no problems seeing the drive, extracting data off it and removing the partition tables, allowing a reformat (as FAT). -- Gerard R Thomas Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Key IDs: RSA:0x9DBCDE7D DH/DSS:0xFF7155A2 -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
