NTFS and windows me

[Ph33zy]

i know if you have a dual boot of winme/win2k, winme cannot see the ntfs hardrive, but can people using winme see my ntfs hardrive over a network? Also if win2k is on ntfs, can it read fat32 files?

The only way other people can see your drive in a network is to share your drive and give permisssion for others to access your drive. Win2k can read both NTFS & FAT32 drives.

To further explain the above reply, since you cannot "see" the NTFS partition in WinME, it is not possible to share it on the network from within WinME. Because of this, you would not be able to share that partition over the network. However, even if your main Win2k partition is in NTFS, it is still possible for Win2k to see any and all FAT/FAT32 partitions on your hard drives.

Also, I believe if you're in Win2k and have the NTFS partition shared for the network, then you should have no problem getting to it through the network, so long as you set Win2k up to share files properly (either make an account on your Win2k computer that has the same username/password as on the computer you want to access the files from, or enable the guest account in Win2k).

actually theres a program that will allow you to read/write ntfs from winme or 98
the ntfs drive reads/writes just as if it was "normal" fat32 drive
but scandisk and stuff dont work
the name of the program is ntfsforwin98 (i bet it took all night to come up with that name) just do a search
