NT4 and FAT32

[John VonBokel]

I'd be willing to bet that this question has been asked before, but can NT4
see FAT32 partitions? Like say if I have a dual boot of 98 and NT, and then
some other partitions for storing data on, which are FAT32, then can the NT4
see those partitions? If not, is there any other format that both 98 and NT
can access?

Thanks,

NT 4.0 dates back to about 1996, and despite the many service releases, that's how old the operating system is. At the time, there was no FAT32, and as a result, NT 4.0 'sees' FAT and NTFS partitions.
Windows 2000, NT's successor, will, however, see FAT32 and NTFS partitions with no problem. Without using a third-party tool, NT cannot see a FAT32 partition, and Windows 98 cannot see amn NTFS partition. If you need a common denominator, it must be a FAT partition, or a network drive.

Also, give a look to the very good FAT32<->NTFS utils at
www.winternals.com

They might help in your case.

Ciao!
