Doesnt DOS stand for Disk Operating System, if it does doesnt that make some OS's a DOS OS? :wink: . Are you wanting a program to read NTFS from DOS?

nope... but you'd probably be able to get something that can mount an NTFS drive.

ok that site was interesting.

what i'm looking for is something that will let me run DOS programs on an NTFS partition.

the program we're using to image and cast our machines runs in DOS, now the new pc's we've got harddrives are to big to format with fat32 and then sys. so we've had to format using NTFS.

Impossible. Fat32 can handle drive much larger than they can manufacture at the moment. I think its about 2 terabytes. The format utility that comes with WinXP only allows partitions up to 32GB. Use a win98 startup disk to partition and format drives above 32GB.

thats what i tried, but it wouldnt recognise the full drive size (only sees 44gb) and when you partition with 2000 and then try to format with a 98 boot disk it only picks a 100gb partition up as a 34gb one.

and i dont think the fact thats its SATA should have anything to do with it.

File systems aside .. I have found a program called dosbox which will run most dos programs on any system. Search for it on google i'm sure you won't have to look for long
