Because there are more than four different versions of NTFS. There seems to be a version for every OS that uses it by M$. Here is a link with a more extensive explanation: http://TWiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/LinuxFilesystems On that page it shows three common NTFS partitions; NTFS4 (Windows NT4), NTFS5a (Windows 2000), and NTFS5b (Windows XP). I think the reason for the warning is more so for the latest NTFS partition (Windows XP) then anything else. Windows XP is supposed to have support for at least four versions of NTFS by default. I wish I had the link for that right now but I will more than likely look for it later if there is interest. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Altoine B Maximum Time Unlimited Chicago Based and Operated ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There's a thrill in store for all for we're about to toast The corporation that we represent.
