NT & 95 FAT16 Partitions -- Defrag??
I have a dual boot 95(b) and NT(4_sp3) residing on seperate HDD's, C: and D: respectively. Both are on DOS6.22 formatted partitions (Dos6.x FAT, I presume). Can I use 95's Defrag to defrag the NT4 FAT partition?

As a matter of fact diskeeper will be apart of Windows nt 5.0, Microsoft has decided to include it with there Os. The 30 day trial of diskeeper can defrag multiple drives at once. Like carmine said and I mentioned you can use the 95 version, but in my opionion diskeeper has one function and this is defragmenting windows Nt, and is certified software by Microsoft for use with Nt.

Thanks for the feedback, from both of you! I decided to download
diskkeeper, as it is free, and just use that for the NT partition.
BTW, I've just successfully built a Triple Boot NT4/95/DOS-Win31
workstation. It works GREAT! Very necessary in my work environment,
as we still support all 3(or4) OS's. The MS KB article ID is Q157992 if
anyone is interested in wasting a weekend!! Thanks again.

Infact it's better to defrag the NT disk when running 95, 'cause none of the files are open, so you can even defrag the pagefile. Far more complete than using Diskeeper! vice versa for 95.
