[ct-user] ct 9.81 and DVP/Win2000

I may be wrong Brian (happens all the time!) but I think=0D
when you partition your hard drive, your Dos partition=0D
will have a different drive letter then your Win 2k. I=0D
would think that drive would show up under Windows=0D
Explorer or My Computer when you are in Win 2k,=0D
and I think you would be able to see the file then,=0D
and be able to attach it to an email. I hope that is=0D
correct. Come to think of it, even if both boot as "C"=0D
drive, you should still be able to see the file in either=0D
OS. I had dual boot Win 2k and 98 a few years =0D
back, but I've slept since then and forget all the=0D
details. I'm sure Jim will know...=0D

I've been wanting to do this type of partition stuff for even older=0D
WINDOWS operating system. =0D

A question showing my ignorance. Just how does one get the contest=0D
file from the DOS partition to the WIN2K partition for uploading to=0D
the contest sponsor? Floppy disk would work but most machines don't=0D
come with floppy disks anymore. Can WIN2K, WINME, WINXP et al read=0D
files in the DOS partition? Does one have to format the DOS partition=0D
in any special way?=0D

or the DOS partition. For CT, you want to boot the DOS partition. For all
intents and purposes, it looks like a DOS computer at this point, all CT
functions should work as expected.=0D
