RE: Win2003 install BSOD on IXS

Maybe I misunderstood the post but an IXS servers can boot from an NTFS file 
system.  Below is one of our IXS servers storage spaces (C: Drive) on a 4812 
card.

                      Display Network Server Storage Space

Ouch! I consider that a major drawback, and would probably fail a server
if I was doing a security audit on it. A well secured server has NTFS on
the boot drive and most services running as non-privileged users so
there's no way to corrupt/infect the boot disk. Hard to mess up xxx.dll
when you don't have write access to it. <G>
