Hello all,

During the install on my HP Lxr8000 server in noticed that the HP
Navigator CD creates a diagnotisc FAT partition. One of the first things

todo to secure my W2k/IIS server is to format all partitions NTFS. Just
wondering how (in)secure this FAT partition is or does anyone know were
I can find some documentation about it.

Kind regards,
