table (FAT) partition to Windows NT file system (NTFS) partition and run
Dr. Watson for Windows NT (DRWTSN32.EXE), the following error message
appears:
An application error has occurred
and an application error log is being generated.

The following event is written to the Event Viewer Application Log:

DRWTSN32.EXE.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
