Hi Ron. > To remove the NT from my drive (partitioned 1gig as C: as FAT,D: at FAT >,E:as FAT and NT is on the next drive as NTFS) do I type in "delnode" when >in NT or when in DOS? How will the partition be converted to FAT from >NTFS. I am presently using a multiple boot for NT and DOS. I didn't realize you had an NTFS partition. Sorry. The easiest way to do this is to rerun the NT setup program and tell it that you want to set up NT on that NTFS drive. You will be prompted if you want to maintain the partition as NTFS or if you want to convert it to FAT. Chose the convert to FAT option. Once that partition is converted (you will lose the data on that partition), you can reboot. Then, go into DOS and delnode anything that was left over before you rebooted (while it was copying files). > I assume the real version of NT will be shipping to the beta sights >without provication? Yes. You will automatically get it – you don't have to do anything. >Also, how does Microsoft determine if it will make a driver for a >digitizing tablet? Or does MS let all vendors make their own drivers. The >reason is because Summagraphics will not make a driver unless it gets a >jillion requests for it. Don't they see that they are holding back people >from jumping to NT? At least I am. Hardware manufacturers may write drivers for Windows NT. Your best bet to ask if the drivers are available is to ask in the WINNT forum. That forum deals mostly with end-user issues and people do post there about driver availability from time to time. Please direct any follow-ups to the WINNT forum. Thanks. Nancy Cluts Microsoft Developer Support
