Some installfest issues



Why FAT16 though. I would think that if one of the OSs were the original 
Windows95 or earlier, then FAT16 would be necessary. But, FAT32 has been 
used since Windows95 OSR1. 
BTW: Tools like Partition Magic can convert NTFS to FAT32 and ViceVersa.
I would recommend that all NT based systems use NTFS for most of their 
stuff though.
