hi,
circumstance:::::: running win98 & xp on same partitioned drive.
without going into too much detail, is the main difference between
fat32 & ntfs all to do with Security?
is/are there many or any other benefits to having ntfs on an xp o/s
if running win98 as the prime o/s, especially if win98 is the only one
with access to the internet?
i think it is great that i can see both o/s's from explorer, can drag
& drop to hearts content.
i installed xp (finally) tonight, and i wanted it to have winzip so i
switched to win98, connected, downloaded it, and made the d/l
point to a folder that i had made in xp.
branched a bit, but really, is it only xp's superiority regarding
security that makes ntfs the better way to go......?
