Hello, I heard that In win XP, if you partition the hd in NTFS format, you can't share files with other computers that are running win 98 with in your network. I was told to partition in fat 32 so they would be compatible. Is this true?
I have three computers two of them have win 98 and, I just finished building the newest one. I am installing win xp home ed. on this new computer.
I was not given the option to partition in fat32.
Please help.

you must "format" the drive with the FAT32 file system. It has nothing to do with partitioning.

Yah, you can read ntfs drives over a network with a win98 machine. Just not on the same machine that has dual boot.

On my Win98 machine, I can read, copy and delete files off the Win2k ntfs machine over the network.
