- WindowsNT (tm) has several hidden files that it deposits in the root directory
- of the C: drive, even if you are using the flexboot option and the C: drive is
- DOS (or something else). You'll need to get rid of all the NT files in the
- root directory on C:. Some of the NT files are not hidden, so just poke around
- and nuke files that don't belong there.
-
- If you wanted to be REALLY sure, you could do a backup of your disk (which is
- good to do anyway), and exclude the NT files. Then reformat the disk.
