HI

As f-prot *MUST* be run under true MS-DOS,
and since Win2000/XP doesn't have pure DOS, then it must be supplied
externally, from a boot disk.
Do I just use my XP start-up disk, a Win98 start-up disk, or another ?
I'm on XP and want to create and update FP rescue disks, but anything
I've tried so far won't work

If you've got the drive partitioned as NTFS you're going to have a hard
time.

My C:\ partition is ntfs, but the other 4 are fat32
Should i make c fat32 also?

My Win98 boot disk lets me access my c drive and partitions

Hi,

I just have read the article mentioned by Zvi and wonder if someone can
clarify one point: On XP, once the Restore facility has been disabled is it
then safe to delete the entire contents of the _RESTORE folder?

Not only safe but recommended. No need to delete anything, just run "Disk
Cleanup" with system restore turned off and it will clear all the junk.

Regards, Zvi
