What do you think? > I too recently got NT4 (on a p133). I converted to NTFS, installed my software, and started to get thing set up to my liking, and while I was fiddling around with Networking configuration, the system fell over. I couldn't get it restarted using the "Emergency Repair Disk". Now I've reinstalled using FAT so that once I actually start working, I won't get locked out of my files. I'd like to know two things: 1. Are there any head to head stats or explanations of the differences between FAT and NTFS? 2. Does anyone know of any utilities for accessing NTFS from either DOS, or preferably Windows 95?
