However, what is really needed is a way to find out if a given drive letter corresponds to a FAT or a HPFS system. F-PROT seems to work OK on HPFS systems (apart from problems with long file names, like many other DOS programs), if it refrains from scanning the boot sector. This is on my list of things to do - but as a temporary solution, just telling it not to scan the boot sector when working on HPFS seems to work. - -frisk
