SubjectRe: NTFS partitions show up as OS/2 partitions.

NTFS is based on HPFS. I don't know if there's some code left from
original HPFS but they are similar. Do you know how NT converts (at
least used to convert) FAT partitions into NTFS? Simple - first convert
it into HPFS and then modify the HPFS to be NTFS.
