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. -Ironclaw ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- _ .----. . - .
