I can't imagine that the core files would be different. What are the
file properties of ntfs.sys on your system? what is the status of
the digital certificate?

The only good thing I think that can come out of receiving a free
Retail version, as the MS engineer suggested is that there may be some
system file differences between the retail and the OEM versions. If
this is so, performing an inplace-upgrade with the retail version may
solve the problem, then again maybe not.

I suspect in the end MS will just need to add or modify a couple lines
of code in ntfs.sys to solve the problem.
