It's good, but what do you do when Winblows NT 4.0 shoot itself in it's
feet and after a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) you end up staring at the
boot screen with says something about not founding the kernel, and thus
not booting?.

Well after this you boot into Linux and put the NTFS driver in a
difficult situation, copy some files, look for ntoskrn.exe, find it
laught at M$, reformat the partition and try again.

I would be very happy to see this app work either in Linux either in an
DOS boot floppy, this would have avoided me a couple of reinstalls. If
the app must work under NT, and NT must run under a perfect NTFS
partition...
