Need help to detect NTFS in WinME

Hello everyone. Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I really need your help... Recently I upgraded to WinXP from WinME... I also got a couple of 80 gig drives that were using NTFS and they were detected immediately by WinXP.. (Please note my drive C is FAT 32)... Now the problem is I have so many "pre" XP devices that just won't work with XP, eventhough I updated their drivers... My system would always hang and some of the features of my software would not work in XP.. So I decided, well I'd rather be up and running smoothly than jumping on the XP wagon... Alas though! My 80 gigs was not detected in WinME. Does anyone know if there is a program that will windows explorer detect it so that I can back-up all my data and just partition the drive to FAT 32? Please help!!!! Thank you in advance!
 
A company called Sysinternals has a free NTFS driver for Win9x. You'll need to provide certain files for it from WinXP in order to read NTFS.
 
Thank you! At least now I can access my other drive, even if it's read only.. Now if only I can find a freeware than can also write to it... But this was very helpful. Thanks...

Anyone else? Still very much open to ideas! 🙂
 
If you pony up the money, NTFS for Win98 can both read and write. I used it for a while, and it really is a very good utility.
