Can't Copy Drive: HPFS issue?

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I have DD 10, willing to upgrade to 11, but I need to know it will work. I can't see my hard drive unless I go in Safe Mode and then I can't do anything with the disk. I see in the disk report that HPFS is referenced. I found something on the site that says it's not supported, but I also see that the file system also appears to be NTFS.

What's the story?

Disk report below:

HPFS here is written only in 'volume label' field, so I'd assume they both are NTFS (unless computer works under OS/2). "can't do anything with the disk" - how? Menu items absent or grayed out? An error occurs on any operation?
