Hello Gus: PMJI, but: >> To tell the truth I don't even know how much you have to spend to get NT<< I paid $300 for NT 3.5 Workstation. >> Make sure you select NTFS as the file system. You can also install a second SCSI hard disk and have it exclusive for NT (that way you don't need to mess around with your existing DOS partition). << Can you explain why the NTFS is preferred? I bought a 2 gig drive exclusively for NT, and formatted the FAT option. This way I can touch up stills I created in 3DS on Photoshop NT. If I read the install manual correctly, it stated that you must use FAT to exchange files from a DOS drive/partition. BTW, I have been trying for several weeks (with the kind help on the WINNT Forum) to become stable and crash proof. Hasn't happened yet. I use the drivers shipped with NT on my Adaptec 2940 and Diamond 64 PCI cards. Thanks for your advice. Mike
