So the claim was made that to get NT4 and NT5 working correctly, the following
procedure was advised:
1. Install NT4 to the first partition, formatting it with NTFS 4.0.
2. Install NT5 to the second partition, formatting it with NTFS 5.0.
This will automatically upgrade the first partition to NTFS 5.0 as well.
3. Copy the ntfs40.sys file from the NT5 cd to the NT4 winnt\system32\drivers
directory as ntfs.sys.
I just did all this, but I can't seem to boot into NT4. I think the correct
procedure would have been:
1. Install NT4 to the first partition, formatting it with NTFS 4.0.
1a. Upgrade NT4 to NT4 Service Pack 3.
2. Install NT5 to the second partition, formatting it with NTFS 5.0.
This will automatically upgrade the first partition to NTFS 5.0 as well.
3. Copy the ntfs40.sys file from the NT5 cd to the NT4 winnt\system32\drivers
directory as ntfs.sys.
If I can boot into NT4, then I'll try to install service pack 3 and
maybe this'll all work. If not, then I'll repeat the process.
So, just to update, I'm making some forward progress, but we're not out
of the woods yet. If anyone has any ideas about how to boot into NT4
and install Service Pack 3 without reinstalling everything (NT5 doesn't like
it when I reinstall NT4 after it's been installed) then let me know.
Right now, it sees the ntfs40.sys file as corrupted, and refuses to boot
further.
Anyway,
Aidan the 'tongue-master
