You're referring to compact flash, rather than a hard
drive, so what I'm about to say may not be relevant .
. . .
Sorry to go back to mentioning the installer, but
here's what happened on the ThinkPad. When I received
it, it already had the W2K boot partition -- the whole
C:, e.g. essentially all of the 20G hard drive --
which happened to have been FAT-32. I decided to
leave it as FAT-32. After making a safety image with
DFSEE (I always like to have a path of retreat, if
necessary), I shrank the C: down to 10G., to make room
for eCS. Then I installed RC4 in a newly created HPFS
E: (D: remains the DVD-ROM drive.) I had the
installer enable FAT-32 IFS, which is an option.
Maybe I _did_ have LVM designate the C: as a
compatibility volume, but have zero recollection of
having done this, and so am somewhat skeptical that I
did. eCS went on fine, and I've had read / write
access to C: ever since. (But I try to greatly
minimize the writes, because I lack full confidence in
the safety of this.)
