Description: This is Amendment 1 to the synopsis entitled,"DISK DUPLICATOR AND SOFTWARE LICENSES", Solicitation 9-BJ2-Z57-1-20Q, which was posted on April 23, 2001. You are hereby notified that the following question and answer is incorporated into the RFQ. Question: In reference to Item #4, FAT 32 for Windows NT 4.0, to the best of my knowledge this is a feature of NT Server 4.0 Software. Please explain why this is a separate line item. Answer: Windows NT 4.0 cannot read disk media that has been formatted in FAT32 (which is offered on Windows 98 and subsequent operating systems). It can only read FAT16 and NTFS-formatted media. From time to time, we connect disk storage to our Windows NT 4.0 Server laptop that has been formatted by a laptop running Windows 98. Since Windows 98 cannot format hard drives with FAT16 or NTFS, we decided to make FAT32 the standard hard drive format, and we installed "FAT32 for Windows NT", by Winternals, on the Server to give it the ability to read and write to FAT32-formatted hard drives. Documents related to this solicitation will be available over the Internet.
