Windows NT 4.0 does not support the HPFS file system unless it was installed prior to upgrading. If you wish to add support for HPFS to a new Windows NT install, copy Pinball.sys from the NT 3.51 CD or an existing computer to %SystemRoot%System32Drivers. Use Regedit on an existing Windows NT Platform that supports HPFS and export:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesPinball

Import it to your Windows NT 4.0 computer.
