RE: PS why are you using fat?

It was a trade off<grin> The repair person is averse to ntfs. I am aware
of the downsides so having my files in the NTFS partition and giving my
factual reasons for that preference and giving him his perference for
the OS.
This old drive was the main boot and OS with software. So do I use the
disk management section of Xp or do I go into Dos to do the clean out of
that drive?
