Jonathan,

Kinda kicks OFA in the teeth? After Z: you need to use raw partitions and assign your drives as per OPS on NT.(Check out setlinks.exe to make aliases for raw partitions)

Interesting how the 8i installation guide for NT promises the benefits of OFA, but delivers them all under c: !

The only hope is that maybe W2000 might resolve this.

Chris.
