Hey all,
The demo copy of Noton *$cked my NT4.0 sp6 file system and now I can't even reinstall NT because my C drive is NTFS.
How do I get around this?
Thanks!

Is there 'a real need' to remove this C: ntfs partition...
Perhaps consider the following approaches?
Run NT setup (3 floppies or a CD boot - whichever); setup/install should proceed as normal and allow you to:
a) install a second version alongside current 'hosed' version; you get a dual-boot and can lose the dud NT one later. Re-apply SP as well to second/new version.
or
b) during setup, reformat the C: partition and continue with setup?
NT setup allows you to create/delete partitions; also to format them.
Incidentally you may even be able to 'upgrade' the current 'hosed' version; that's an option during early part of setup (worth a try?). It may work? And (re-)apply SP accordingly. Similarly a repair 'may' even work out OK?
