Re: DOS based Win4

I'd just like to say a final few words on this matter and then I'll let it
rest (o:
Windows NT is compatible with MS-DOS - when you install Windows NT you have
2 choices for your file system structure, FAT 16 or NTFS, Windows NT is not
compatible with FAT 32. If you were to install a new hard drive you DO NOT
need to have MS-DOS installed first. You can simply insert the Windows 95B
or 98 start up disk, follow the instructions, and install the O/S. The
MS-DOS you use after installing these O/S isn't true MS-DOS...it is an
emulator.
