Will 98 2nd read xp ntfs drive???

[tiap]

I put in a 2nd hard drive (wd120gig 8mb) to use just for video files and formatted it with xp pro in ntfs to get around the 4 gig file limit. I would like to use win 98 with a Radeon AIW card (which works perfectly in 98 but not in xp) to record and edit videos and store them on the ntfs drive. Win 98 does not see the xp drive but the bios at bootup does. Of course xp sees the fat32 drive if I boot from xp. Is this normal and if it is, can I do anything to make win 98 use the ntfs drive?

Windows 9x/Me cannot read NTFS.

Not without 3rd party software. Check the AnandTech FAQs regarding FAT32 and NTFS for links.

I have found that it can work accross a network, ie a win98 PC can read a shared NTFS hard drive.

also check www.sysinternals.com, they have a "full-blown ntfs driver for windows 98x+". the full link is: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/ntfswin98.shtml : Never used it myself, but I hear it works well.
