SUMMARY

There is a documentation error in Windows NT Resource Kit version 3.51.

MORE INFORMATION

The Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51 Resource Kit, Volume 1, Chapter 5, Page 203 currently provides the following steps to reformat the system partition from NTFS to FAT:

3.  When Setup asks you to select the partition where you would like
    to install Windows NT, highlight the NTFS drive, and
    type P to delete the partition.
				


This step is incorrect. You need to type D to delete the partition, not P. Step 3 should read:

3.  When Setup asks you to select the partition where you would like
    to install Windows NT, highlight the NTFS drive, and
    type D to delete the partition.
