No, you're not. Based on Steven's reply, it appears it is a Windows
driver to access HPFS. sorry...

Jan van Wijk warned last year that this driver can corrupt HPFS
partitions bigger than 2 gigs.

Found a detailed procedure on the net at ucsd.edu:

Q. How do I run HPFS under NT 4.0?
A. If you want NT support for HPFS, you can upgrade from
3.51 to 4.0 which will retain HPFS support. You can manually
install the 3.51 driver under NT 4.0, however this is not
support by Microsoft.
* Copy the 3.51 pinball.sys to the NT 4.0
%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers directory.
* Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
* Goto the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro
lSet\Services
* From the Edit menu, select "New Key"
* In the form entry box which appears, enter Pinball as
the Key Name. Leave the class field blank, and click
OK
* Highlight the new Pinball key in the editor's left
panel and select New Dword from the Edit menu
* Enter a name of ErrorControl and click OK
* Double click ErrorControl and set to "0x1"
* Highlight Pinball again and select "New String" from
the Edit menu with name "Group" click OK
* Double click Group and set to "Boot file system"
* Highlight Pinball again and select "New DWORD"
from the Edit menu with name "Start" click OK
* Double click Start and set to "0x1"
* Highlight Pinball again and select "New DWORD"
from the Edit menu with name "Type" click OK
* Double click Type and set to "0x2"
* Close the registry editor
* Reboot the machine
