I was wondering since Windows 2000 can use FAT32, I was wondering if during the WINNT4 setup, if you pressed F6 and loaded the Win2k FAT32 file system driver, that NT4 would use it and have it work with NT4, you would probably need to write an oemsetup.inf file or something, but I was just wondering if this get NT4 to use FAT32 natively rather than relying on Systernal driver. Just a theory, and I am sure it wouldn't work.

Pmistry,

Winternals or Sysinternals do have a FAT32 driver for Windows NT 4.0, also if you have their ERD Commander software, you have a FAT32 driver, you then hack the registry to give access FAT32, this is what I did.

As for the W2K FAT32 driver, there is only one way to find out, press F6, I don't think it will work, but it would be nice to be proved wrong!
