	I am not sure that is a true issue. If the drive is in FAT format,
you might want to try this (disclaimer this will destroy nt on your
harddrive forcing a recovery if this wont work, and a reinstall if you
delete it). Put a boot disk in the
drive ( DOS or 95 is fine) and type SYS C:. THis copies dos system file
onto the system, then delete the windows Nt files. Then use the DOS prompt
to install WIn 95. In theory it should work. I have not stepped through
this process farther than acidently geting my windows nt machine to boot
to dos when i wanted to recover it..( i was new then). GIve it a shot, it
might just work, and then you would have all your data.
