This method will work on both NT Server and NT Workstations. To add HPFS support in NT 4.0 do following steps:

1. Copy PINBALL.SYS from NT 3.51 distribution to NT 4.0's SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory.

2. Add the following Registry Key to the system:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pinball

3. In the above key, add the following values:

ErrorControl: REG_DWORD: 0x1
Group: REG_SZ: Boot file system
Start: REG_DWORD: 0x1
Type: REG_DWORD: 0x2

4. Reboot the system

Once the system has finished rebooting, the NT system should now be able to read/write to existing HPFS partitions.
