Hi to all and to Dave,
I think that there are a few fine details that are not being appreciated
here.
Why don't you ask Sprow, the creator of DOSFS, about specific
points or worries.
All I can tell you is that it has been a life saver for me
after the whole of my C: drive died and requiring formatting,
re-installation
of Windows XP with SP2, etc.
Also, if you have a new PC without a 3.5" floppy drive
a very common occurrence these days, you can buy a cheap
trendy looking external B: drive with a USB 2.0 connector
and then, DOSFS makes life really easy.
Best wishes
Raf
