Re: How to create NTFS file system from FreeBSD?

Hi,

The easiest way would be to format it inside a "Windows" PC
that is NTFS capable. But I think your problem is that you
don't have such a PC at hand...

Maybe a (very overcomplicated) solution is to (install and
then) run some kind of "Windows" in a VM and format the disk
from there...

I am not sure that my reply is allowed here, but I recently found out
that Hiren BooCD 9.8 includes a live version of XP...

Bests,

Olivier
