Sorry I did not emphasize SP3 in my last mail. (I don't think I
mentioned it at all the first time I mentioned ntfs4.sys.)
By making the partition FAT, you should be able to install NT4, and
during the NT4 install process, you can tell NT to convert the
partition to FAT.
The question is: will the NT4 install hang because there is an NT5
partition present? That is, the NTFS driver in the NT4 install
detects an NTFS partition and then barfs when it tries to read some
metadata and finds an unknown version number. That would be
potentially silly...but who knows... If this does happen, you can run
some tool like pfdisk (from pfdisktc.zip on the net) and change the
partition ID for the NTFSv5 partition to something unknown so that the
NT4 NTFS driver does not try to do anything with it.
