Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I currently run a dual OS PC with boath Windows95 and FreeBSD 3.2 on the hard drive. I want to upgrade Win95 to WinNT Workstation using the system CD. I'm mostly going to use this partition for the copy of C++ 6.0 I just got, though I do run a few games like Quake II on my FAT partition. I was wondering if any of you could answer me a couple of questions: Will FreeBSD 3.2 be able to read NTFS partitions? How hard is it to move over all my files in FAT to NTFS? How hard is it to maintain a FAT file system in WinNT? Is it worthwile to keep a MS-DOS/FAT file system to run some applications? What programs (generally) from Win95 won't run under WinNT? If I do a backup using the Backup utility in Win95, will I still be able to restore in WinNT? Any thoughts or comments on the above would be appreciated... -Mark Cockrum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
