Hi Dave
FAT 32 does 30 GB partitions I don't need any larger partitions, OK It will only handle 4 GB files but I don't need files that size. I am not a security fanatic. I don't look at internet sites without a specific reason. I don't store anything on a computer that would worry me if it was accessed by the wrong people. Windows 98 2e is the last of the DOS based sytems and has a DOS 7 operating system which allows me to get right into the computer works and run some of the old DOS base programs that use the upper memory handlers. The command line input available in the later versions of windows is not a true DOS substitute although it will work on the NTFS. It won't run the DOS programs I need to run.
I also have a separate Linux installation and can live boot but I am not as familiar with Linux as I am with DOS.
I can get Windows 7 but with a distribution size around 3GB it must have a lot of stuff that is of no use to me. At the moment there is nothing I need to run that won't run on XP and most of it will still work on Windows 98.
