Use NTFSDOS from www.sysinternals.com <http://www.sysinternals.com> - then
you can have your boot as an NTFS.

Anyway there's no excuse for not keeping regular backups, updating the
emergency disk at regular intervals and not mirroring/string the disks

Regards,

Derek

Its, recommended not to use NTFS so that if anything goes wrong with the OS
you can always use a DOS boot disk to attempt to repair whatever has gone
wrong. Although there is some security issues in doing this it is usually
the safer option,
Ive actually had to put the theory into practice and it has worked (rogue
service pack)

Robert
