NTFS for DOS
in [Hardware]

From: Edward A. Weissbard on 4 Feb 2006 18:21 I was recently in a position where I had to copy a file to an NTFS partition and I didn't have access to Recovery Console. I did find a very useful program called NTFSforDOS. It copies additional software to a Windows9x boot disk so that it can mount NTFS drives. I found it very useful when I thought I didn't have a choice without Recovery Console. The link follows to this freeware program: http://www.datapol.de/dpe/freeware/ Thanks, -- Edward A.

One other way is BartPE. http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ Which has as a major advantage, that the actual writing to NTFS partitions is done by Microsoft Windows. Which may not be a bad idee, given the poor compatibility record of 'third party writing to ntfs'-software. -- Kind regards, Gerard Bok

For example it does very little in the way of filename expansion, forcing the user to employ '*.*' more often than needed. There are some other quirks but I have forgotten them. Nevertheless for a free utility, it has proven very useful once you learn how to work around its quirks. -- "It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession.
