After instructing Windows NT Setup to convert your FAT partition to
NTFS (the partition containing Windows NT), the SYSTEM32 directory is
corrupted.

CAUSE

This problem only occurs when the filenames in the SYSTEM32 directory
are in a particular order. It is caused by a cache problem in
Convert's read/write cache.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and
Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem was corrected in
the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced
