NTFS question

[Steve]

Is Windows NT 4.0's setup able to install to an NTFS partition created by Windows 2000? Win2k uses NTFS 5.0 while NT starts with version 3 I think, then moves up to 4 after a few service packs.

Nope.

 

[Steve]

You're right! 🙁

NT4 added support for NTFS5 with SP4(I think, might have been 5).

 

[Steve]

Yeah, I have an initial NT4 CD and a separate CD with SP4, but I don't know if NT4 does slipstreaming. Doesn't matter now though, issue resolved.

There is no NTFS 4 or 5. Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51 were NTFS v1. NT 4 was NTFS v2. 2000 was NTFS v3, and XP is NTFS v3.1

That's true, I found a link explaining the NTFS versions.

There is no NTFS 4 or 5. Windows NT 3.5 and 3.51 were NTFS v1. NT 4 was NTFS v2. 2000 was NTFS v3, and XP is NTFS v3.1

And yet the numbers stored on disk are different and in many places MS refers to it as NTFSv5 on their website.
