1.	Solve : Need a DOS vesion that orks with NTFS formatted disks.?
Answer» Very unhappy with the version of DOS that comes with Windows XP Pro. I am tired of getting messages telling me I cannot do what I want to do. An example is deleting a file that was left by an old program. MS TELLS me that XP and XP DOS are not allowed to do it. Is there a DOS version available (does not NEED to be free) that works with NTFS formatted disks and does not listen to Microsoft? I have MS DOS 6.2, but as I remember it does not read NTFS formatted disks.

Think about this. "Is there a DOS (IMPLYING MS_DOS [Microsoft_Disk Operating SYSTEM]) version that works with NTFS (Microsoft developed file system) and does not listen to Microsoft?" Ummm... No. Try Linix. On to the deeper issue, what error messages are you getting? If it's an old file that isn't used by any program at the time and you have administrative privileges to the computer, there should be no reason you can't delete it. You may have a virus.NTFS4DOSSorry for the delay in returning. Thanks for the replies. I'll get NFTS4DOS. Tom
