Well, that is reasonably easy to do.  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.
