When I was setting up Nt4 a year ago I called Omega tech support
about a problem I was having and I talked to their resident NT
expert who specifically recommended not running in a separate space
as it causes some TS4 problems of its own. It cleared up whatever
problem I was having back then to not specify that it run protected,
and I have always run with SP3 so I do know that it can be done
without problems. A lot of programming won't run without SP3,
so you will have a hard time with things like IE4 if you only use SP1.
I use NTFS and a dual boot backup copy of NT4 in fat16 to gain
emergency access. Diskeeper 4.0 will defrag NTFS.
