And at least a FAT (including FAT12, FAT16 or FAT32) drive is required. Win3.x won't work on HPFS/NTFS/Ext2 drives.

just a quick question are HPFS and NTFS the same thing ??

sometimes Pqmagic reports ntfs as hpfs

I read somewhere that windows nt started out as OS/2 so if they are the same it would make sense :-D

NTFS and HPFS are not the same. But HPFS(used in OS/2 and supported by WinNT) is actually the precursor of NTFS.

Well, not exactly..you see that first file system (HPFS) came out when OS2 was a joint venture between microsoft and IBM..remember it was billy that said "OS2 is the platform for the '90s"..
thank god the '90s are over :)
