Re: NTFS question

["Bruce Roorda" <possum1@softhome.net>]

I have a Win98 computer networked to one running WinXP with an NTFS drive.
The Win98 computer can access the NTFS drive on the WinXP machine with no
problems.  If you had a dual-boot setup on the same drive, the Win9x OS
would be able to read only FAT32 partititons.
