Re: Format Nt

Um yes. But if you do that Say bye bye to WinNt.
If you want to Dual Boot your Best bet would be to use partition magic.

Any questions PM me

Re: Format Nt

It depends what kind of filesystem you want to use after the fact. If you are looking to use NTFS, why would you not want to use a windows disk?
