New WinXP file system breaks disk utilities. Again. Oops. "The utility companies are going to get it again when Windows XP ships - not that they've any right to be surprised. Microsoft has made some small revisions to NTFS with WinXP, resulting in the likes of Partition Magic bouncing straight off WinXP installations, splattering error messages around the place. This probably goes for any other utility that manipulates partitions and/or wants to twiddle around with Master Boot Records, and it surely won't come as a surprise to the vendors, as they regularly get whacked by Microsoft file system upgrades. Still, it's a bummer for Partition Magic, which only started running native on Win2k relatively recently, and WinXP is in essence a rev of Win2k" http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/archive/17783.html -- -- ----/ / _ Fred A.
