You might be*able* to. I encountered a guy years back adamant that Win2K should be run from FAT32. He thought it was faster. (I thought he was a fool.) Why you might *want* to is another matter. "A file system DOS can read and write" is generally not a sufficient reason. ______ Dennis _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
